What is the best strategy to encourage investment in facilities based telecommunications competition?<\/p>\n

That question is at the core of both sets of telecom carrier appeals to cabinet<\/a> filed in mid-March.<\/p>\n

In the Essential Services Decision<\/a>, the Commission wrote:<\/p>\n

117. The Commission notes that fibre-based access and transport services include CDN DS-3, OC-3, OC-12, and Ethernet services.<\/p>\n

118. The Commission notes that the record indicates a high incidence of competitor self-supply or alternative supply of fibre-based access and transport facilities. The Commission considers that the reported level of alternative supply demonstrates the existence of competition in the upstream market for such facilities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In evidence [pdf<\/a>, 425KB] filed with cabinet, there is a question raised about whether the CRTC’s statistics may have been somewhat self-fulfilling; the evidence shows that a trivial percentage of Toronto’s business addresses have access to competitor fibre facilities.<\/p>\n

But is that a fair characterization of the issue? Let’s face it, corner convenience stores and dry cleaners aren’t priority fibre candidates for either the ILEC or for competitive carriers.<\/p>\n

Isn’t the real question whether competitors are able to reach the same types of “high data rate” customers as the ILEC?<\/p>\n

That was the question the CRTC looked at in its statistics gathering and the facts established evidence of “a high incidence of competitor self-supply or alternative supply of fibre-based access and transport facilities.”<\/p>\n

The Commission also looked at the issue of competition for fibre-based services on an exchange-by-exchange basis in the context of digital network access forbearance for high speed services. A substantial number of exchanges are forborne on the basis of this detailed analysis.<\/p>\n

Two different ways of looking at the numbers; both indicate competitive supply for fibre-based services.<\/p>\n

We’ll be looking at these policy issues and so much more at The 2009 Canadian Telecom Summit<\/strong><\/a>, June 15-17 in Toronto. Are you registered yet?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
