Measuring competition in telecom

DeGroote School of BusinessHow competitive is Canada’s telecommunications market?

That question has been one of the more fiercely debated subjects around water-coolers and dinner parties. Pundits and politicians have made telecom competition an issue that stimulated advertising on our TV networks over the past year and figured prominently in the latest federal budget.

So, in cooperation with the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University, The 2014 Canadian Telecom Summit is going to examine “Competition in Telecom” through the eyes of some of the top telecom competition economists on the continent.

Taking place on Monday June 16, the session will be moderated by Dvai Ghose of Canaccord Genuity and will feature:

  • Robert Crandall [Senior Fellow, Brookings Institute]
  • John Mayo [Professor, Georgetown University]
  • Eli Noam [Professor, Columbia University]
  • Roger Ware [Professor, Queens University]
  • Len Waverman [Dean, DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University]

All of these economists have considerable expertise in the economics of telecommunications and have testified in regulatory and competition proceedings. It should be a fascinating session – entertaining and educational.

One of the many sessions at The 2014 Canadian Telecom Summit, taking place June 16-18 in Toronto.
