城市电话用户可获退款 郊区互联网服务将改善

[2010-09-01]

加拿大电台电视暨电讯委员会(CRTC)周二裁决,魁省、安省、缅省、亚省及卑诗省城市电话用户未来6个月可收到20-90元退款,287个郊区用户则在2014年前获高速互联网服务。

CRTC在2002年制止大公司降低城市地区价格,以保护新加入本地电话市场的竞争者。到2006年时,竞争情势趋於稳定,委员会相信不必再限定价格,并开始考虑如何运用电话公司所收取的7.7亿额外款项。

2008年时,消费者团体在加拿大最高法院主张,所有额外款项应退还顾客,电话公司则希望改善郊区服务,结果最高法院採纳委员会的分配方式。CRTC表示,3.108亿元退款给城市顾客,4.219亿元用於改善郊区互联网服务,3,500万元将协助残障人士。

研科、加拿大贝尔、Bell Aliant、MTS Allstream等公司将退款并改善郊区互联网,SaskTel要将份内的150万元款项全部用於改善残障人士服务。

裁决另指出,电话公司可以不退款而给予顾客更佳服务,条件是服务价值超过退款。顾客如果在6个月内跟大电话公司解约,退款就会用於支付最后帐单。

委员会担心郊区顾客无法获得跟都市相同服务品质,拒绝贝尔使用无线而不架设固定网络的建议。不同意此项裁决的委员卡茨(Len Katz)表示,CRTC不应干涉业者使用何种科技提供宽频服务。贝尔的监管及政府事务副总裁毕比(Mirko Bibic)说,CRTC假设无线科技不足以服务顾客犯了错误。不过在魁北克跟贝尔竞逐互联网用户的Quebecor Media表示,如果准许贝尔在该省架设无线网络,会衝击既有的有线电视及无线服务商。资料来源:加通社
 
CRTC is just stupid

HSPA technology is much much advanced than the ADSL technology. The  superHub Bell like offer is a fatastic gateway for everything (phone, TV  and internet) and the bandwidth can be up to 14M. If more bandwidth  required, the technology support bonding. It is all running over Bell's  latest 3G HSPA network and it is ready for the 4G LTE. Compared to the  old wired ADSL, the deployment cost is also much lower. In Ontario and  Quebec majoy cities, Bell has stopped deploy any copper, now all fiber.  Any new development will get fiber connection. Stongbridge and half moon  bay will be the 1st fiber community in Ottawa start from this fall.  However, the stupid CRTC force Bell deploy the 10 years old copper ADSL  network in rural area!!! Think about it, a rural customer could require  10KM copper line for an ADSL connection, why NOT wireless?!!!CRTC said  wireless is not stable!!! If it is not stable, why majoy population use  it? CRTC just try to use more cost to deploy a poor solution in rural  area. The latest news from Bell is Bell will return the funding to its  customers and let the government deploy the rural internet.Now it is  CRTC show. Poor rural people......Hope in the future CRTC would not add  any extra cost on city customers' bill to deploy the stone age ADSL in  rural area......dummy
