Since last summer, MTS Allstream has been upset with the rate increases on Centrex imposed by other carriers. I wrote in January about an application calling for changes to the way the ILECs sell their Centrex services.
At the time of the CRTC’s approval last October, I said:
There are three ways for Bell to succeed on this filing: unit revenues for Centrex go up 10%; competitors get hurt; and, customers are incented to migrate to Bell’s portfolio of VoIP solutions
Allstream has recently filed its own rate increase for Centrex.
What does that do to its arguments fighting against Bell’s rate increase? If you can’t beat them…?
