... Paov,
Late last week, OpenMedia filed detailed and significant comments in support of a crucial challenge that will determine whether Canadians get access to new, independent wireless providers like Ting.
If the CRTC listens to Canadians, bad parts of a recent ruling will be overturned and a new level playing field will allow a wide range of new mobile providers to set up shop and sell services.
There’s no doubt that this would help Canadians' pocketbooks, especially since the Big Three control over 90% of the market and force Canadians to pay some of the highest prices in the industrialized for what’s widely recognized as poor service.

The CRTC is in a great position to ensure Canadians get access to new providers. The question is: Will they listen to Canadians leading this challenge? Or will they cave to Big Telecom providers who want total control and high prices for all of us? Speak out at OpenMedia.ca/Gatekeepers.
