The CRTC has scheduled its hearings to decide on whether to approve the privatization of Bell Canada. The hearings will commence February 25.
I have to admit I missed the CRTC’s announcement when it was first released. The big news in Thursday’s daily announcements was the approval of the CanWest / Alliance deal. The Commission also approved the new telecommunications consumer complaints agency.
But buried under the title Broadcasting Notice of Public Hearing, was this little notice:
2007-19 The Commission will hold a public hearing commencing on 25 February 2008 at 9:30 a.m., at the Conference Centre, Portage IV, 140 Promenade du Portage, Gatineau, Quebec, to consider a broadcasting application.
It is only when you click on the link that you see that this is the $40B BCE transaction.
Comments for PN 2007-19 are due January 24.
