Hearings Underway In Inuvik That Could Affect Your Phone Service
The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission is in Inuvik today holding hearings on telephone competition. The CRTC had ruled last year that Northwestel must make its infrastructure available to competitors, especially cellphone companies. But it says the northern phone company can only recoup up to 10 per cent of its costs through charges to those companies.
Northwestel is objecting to that level, so the CRTC has come north to hear what people think. Samer Bishay is president and CEO with Iristel and Ice Wireless.
