Independent ISPs Speak out on UBB

By Michael Geist

The Canadian Network Operators Consortium, which represents dozens of independent ISPs, have written to Industry Minister Tony Clement to ask the government to refer the CRTC's UBB decision back to the Commission for review. The letter notes:

Under section 12 of the Telecommunications Act, the Governor in Council can within one year of any CRTC decision on its own motion, by order, vary, rescind the decision or refer it back to the CRTC for reconsideration of all or a portion of it. For these reasons we are asking you to urge your fellow Cabinet members to ask the Governor in Council, of its own motion, to refer the UBB Decisions back to the CRTC for reconsideration in accordance with the pro-competitive principles described above.
