The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that three key decisions -- in wireless, broadcast and Internet -- have been made under Jean-Pierre Blais since his appointment as CRTC chairman in 2012. The Globe's Christine Dobby writes that first is wireless contract caps. With its 2013 national wireless code, the commission effectively capped cellphone contracts at two years. The move eliminated three-year contracts, which were unpopular with customers who felt locked in for too long, but moving to two years led to increased monthly plan prices as the carriers started charging customers more each month to recover the cost of handset subsidies. Next is "skinny" basic cable, designed to allow consumers to get a stripped-down TV package for no more than $25 a month. Of course, the cablecos loaded the bills with add-ons which made the price much higher than $25. Third is Mr. Blais's focus on fibre. Following a review of wholesale Internet -- which allows small ISPs like TekSavvy access to the incumbent cable and telephone companies' networks -- the commission ruled that the major players must provide access to the latest generation of fibre-based services. BCE appealed but the feds rejected the appeal in May.
