News Summary

Telus has raised concerns about anti-competitive practices by Bell and Rogers, claiming these companies are hindering competition in Canada’s telecom and TV markets. At CRTC hearings, Telus alleged that Bell Media has denied it access to TV content in Ontario and Quebec, impacting Telus customers’ access to channels like TSN, Crave, and CTV News. Furthermore, Telus accused Rogers of blocking its advertising on Rogers’ TV and radio stations, which reduces competition in Ontario, BC, and Alberta. Telus is urging the CRTC to update regulations to prevent such practices, asserting that its proposals could make TV and internet services more affordable and provide more options to Canadians while supporting Canadian content creators.
