Public policy
Last week was the deadline for public input into the Minister's policy direction to the CRTC. I commented briefly on part of the MTS Allstream filing.
It isn't that I wanted to single them out. Actually, kudos to MTS Allstream for being the only party to actively distribute their comments to the public. Further, Allstream is having a conference call to discuss their position.
PIAC has posted their submission to their own website. I have seen a couple others but I am under an embargo until the public can view the pieces.
It has been hard to get a hold of the various submissions, since Industry Canada has not yet updated their website.
It is an interesting process - parties make submissions, but unlike the CRTC, there is no right to reply. This is a process where the lobbyists, press and public opinion may become more important. Watch this space. I am sure that we'll have more to say about this debate.
