Canada: Phone firms unite to fight VoIP ruling
Tim Lai writes in The Globe and Mail:
Canadian phone companies banded together Thursday in an effort to get Ottawa to overturn a decision regulating local Internet-based phone services.
Executives from Aliant Inc., Bell Canada Inc., SaskTel and Telus Corp. told a press conference they have petitioned the cabinet to reverse a May 12 Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ruling that would regulate voiceover Internet protocol (VoIP).
The decision prevents large telecom companies from cutting prices to keep rivals out of the business. Prices established by cable companies and new VoIP firms would not be regulated under the CRTC ruling.
