Overview

• Bell Canada has launched its 'Build, Connect and Grow Canada' campaign to oppose the CRTC's February wholesale fibre policy.
• The policy mandates that telecom companies, including Bell and Telus, allow competitors to resell fibre service by paying for network access.
• Bell argues the policy undermines infrastructure investments, announcing a $500 million cut and delaying fibre rollout to 1.5 million locations.
• Telus supports the policy, stating it promotes competition and affordability by enabling access to regional markets without proprietary networks.
• The CRTC plans to re-evaluate the policy this summer, a decision that could reshape Canada's broadband strategy and market dynamics.
