MONTREAL, May 6, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Quebecor today
responded to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) decision on wholesale wireless services and
welcomed the move to regulate roaming rates as a step in the right
direction. Quebecor shares the CRTC's goal of offering Canadian
consumers more competition and greater freedom of choice.
Quebecor intends to actively participate in the
regulatory process established by the CRTC and hopes that it will
be completed quickly. The final rates set by the CRTC will be
decisively important for the viability of genuine competition.
Quebecor is pleased to note that the CRTC
decision favours mobile carriers that invest in their own
state-of-the-art facilities for the benefit of Canadian consumers.
Through its Videotron subsidiary, Quebecor has invested more than
$2 billion in its mobile network
since 2008 and created thousands of good jobs.
