As I mentioned on Friday<\/a>, the CRTC will be webcasting the audio feed from its hearings examining the BCE privatization.<\/p>\n

The hearings<\/a> will open with a panel from Bell, led by COO and CEO-designate George Cope, Regulatory Affairs Chief Mirko Bibic, Chief Legal Officer Martine Turcotte and Expressvu president Gary Smith. They will be joined by Jim Leech, the President and CEO of Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. Also part of the panel are a host of internal and external lawyers, representatives of Providence Equity Partners, Merrill Lynch (both are equity participants with Teachers), KPMG (the valuators) and supporting executives.<\/p>\n
