Everyone is now saying 'oh this shows why we need more competition, why we need independent oversight, etc, etc'...and those of us with a shred of common sense are sitting here wondering where the hell everyone has been the last 10+ years we've been complaining about the corruption and stupidity at the CRTC.
Seriously, who is stupid enough to run Interac on a single network without an alternative provider as a backup?

The CRTC does a decent job, especially compared to the FCC.
Market competitiveness;
* Multiple new entrant low cost frequency bid options
* MTS sale, a forced split
Ensured Revenue
* Stone-walling the option for carriers to transition to Trusts
Consumer protections
* Removing the 3rd year, as a device amortization option
* Forced shared carrier roaming
* Mitigating data consumption, and roaming overages
* Clear & concise billing
* All devices to be Unlocked
And a couple more aged examples;
* Wireless Number Portability
* Foreborne vs regulated pricing, (CLEC vs ILEC)
