One of the highlights of each year’s Canadian Telecom Summit has been what we call “The Regulatory Blockbuster.” This year, that session takes place on Tuesday, June 13 and will feature the regulatory chiefs from Bell, TELUS, Rogers, Shaw and MTS Allstream.
People go to hockey games, saying they want to see lots of end-to-end action, but we know they really are hoping for a good fight. At our event, folks want to see the scratching, hair-pulling, body-slams and tag-team action as Janet and the boys duke it out together. In a civilized setting, of course.
Some of the participants are in rehearsal already. In case you missed the FP Comment section on Saturday, you should have a look at Ken Engelhart’s article followed by Mirko Bibic’s reply.
I consider their exchange in the paper to be an exhibition game to prepare for the main event. Since it represented a warm-up round, the Post gave Mirko an advantage by showing him Ken’s piece in advance. There will be none of that in June.
It will be an all ad-lib affair at The Canadian Telecom Summit. With the Telecom Policy Review panel report, the Local Forbearance Decision and an upcoming Cabinet ruling on the VoIP appeal, there are lots of hot issues to be explored.
Don’t miss the action!
