In the Canadian telecommunication industry, the independent organization which is in charge of regulating and supervising is the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission). The CRTC’s main work for the telecommunications industry is to “ensure that Canadians receive reliable telephone and other telecommunications services, at affordable prices.”
CRTC’s major activities of regulating the Canadian telecommunications industry include: to issue/ renew/ amending licences, to approve tariffs and agreements for the telecommunications industry, to encourage competition in the telecommunications markets, and to respond the requests of any concerns about telecommunications issues. For example, according to Canada Telecommunications Report (2010), “CRTC licensed four new operators in 2008 increasing the competition in the market, meaning Bell will face further competition.” Therefore, the risks of the regulations by CRTC can be seen as another threat for Canadian telecommunications companies.
