The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition Saskatchewan's biggest wireless provider is calling on Ottawa to keep regional carriers in mind when shaping its policy on the industry. The Globe's Christine Dobby quotes Ron Styles, chief executive officer of Saskatchewan Telecommunications, as telling The Globe: "We just think the government needs to think a little broader than they have been. They're just thinking about the two new companies, Wind and Mobilicity, and they should be thinking about the fourth carriers across Canada." Mr. Styles singled out government policies around wholesale roaming services as particularly problematic. The government made roaming mandatory in 2013 in an effort to help upstart carriers, but small players still complained they could not negotiate favourable agreements with the Big Three. Ottawa then set temporary rates in the 2014 budget implementation act, capping wholesale costs at no more than what carriers charge their retail customers. It had the seemingly inadvertent effect of allowing the large national carriers to demand similar roaming rates from providers such as SaskTel, overriding any previous roaming agreements that the companies had already negotiated.
