Telus Corp. has announced to have taken all legal steps to sue the federal government in top court, asking for further explanation on the country’s wireless spectrum policy. An application was filed for judicial review by Telus in Federal Court on Monday, questioning the decisions of then-industry minister Christian Paradis on June 4 to prevent the transfer of struggling Mobilicity’s wireless spectrum licences to larger rival Telus. The decision ultimately destroyed the $380-million bid of Telus to takeover Mobilicity.
Additionally, the government has already issued a cautionary warning to alert that any future requests for such spectrum transfers will be reviewed on an individual basis, highlighting that any case that results in suspicion of undue spectrum concentration will be straightforwardly rejected. The announced motive of such moves of the federal government is to sustain a four national wireless phone competition in the Canadian market. In a statement recently issued by the spokesperson of current Industry Minister James Moore, Sébastien Gariépy, mentioned on Tuesday, that “greater competition means better prices for Canadian consumers.” It was added that “we are aware of the judicial review application. As this matter is before the courts we have no further comment.”
The latest auction of wireless spectrum in 2008, resulted in the entry of small players Wind and Mobilicity, while as another bold move, all three incumbent phone companies, i.e. Rogers, Telus and Bell, were forcefully banned for to acquire any of the wireless spectrums held by the small competitors for coming five years.
I agree with the statement that “greater competition means better prices for Canadian consumers.” Because recent year the cost of the urgent things for everyday life grew radically. The cost of a piece of bread at the store has headed off from $1.25 to $2.07 in one year. And now, people who used to live on frugal wages started to look for an excellent way to get money for everyday needs in Ottawa and other Canadian cities.
