In my blog posts last week, I looked at piece-meal approaches to legislative changes and explained how mandated structural separation has not shown itself to be in the public interest.
Why were 3 separate pieces of legislation over the past year required for Ontario to “accelerate” broadband deployment? Why didn’t / couldn’t they get it right first time?
A recent report from the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology wants the CRTC to look at structural separation. In this blog post, I discuss the issue, explaining that Canada needs regulatory policies that create incentives for more investment and innovation, not less.
