Is the CRTC going to rein in retailers like Walmart wireless?

Let the discussion begin.  At the end of the day, caveat emptor will never go out of style.

CCTS can be bad too.  Carriers end up payng per case, so does that make the carrier a customer of ccts? The crtc debates for months and spend doing studies. 

 

When they make changes, they don't go far enough.  Why aren't prepaid customers protected the same way as postpaid when porting out or cancelling?  No reason really.  Why do they allow carriers to hide cancellation fees in the phone price now?

 

Crtc also believed Bell and Rogers about per GB bandwidh costs, and allowed Bell long time ago from unlimited to 5GB for home internet. 

 

Crtc forced tv providers to make basic plans.  The plans are garbage but they allowed it.

Interesting.  However, it doesn't sound like anything will be done any time soon.  If they go through with allowing CCTS to take action on misleading advertising, etc.,  that  might be helpful.  But in the end, big corporations will find another way to fool the public.  Even if they pass laws, they will probably be hard to enforce.  You would probably have to sue the company to get restitution.

Probably considering that they released a report on that or at least they are considering taking action/in the early stages of coming with a plan,etc.
