Overview

• The second day of the CRTC’s four-day hearing featured presentations from Telus, Bell and industry groups on the label proposal.
• Telus backed a streamlined disclosure format but urged restrictions on complex metrics to avoid consumer confusion.
• Bell Canada recommended mandating detailed speed and network technology data on provider websites instead of new labels.
• Consumer advocates led by OpenMedia and the Samuelson-Glushko clinic argued that a uniform label would empower shoppers.
• The hearing resumes Thursday with testimony from Rogers, the telecom ombudsman and the Competition Bureau.
