Cutting red tape

The CRTC and Statistics Canada have announced an initiative to cut down on the amount of government paperwork required from telecommunications service providers in Canada.

Both government bodies currently require filings from carriers.

Under a new inter-agency Memorandum of Understanding, their annual telecommunications surveys have been harmonized to reduce regulatory burden and make data collection more efficient.

Beginning with this year's filings, there will be only one annual telecommunications survey, submitted through the CRTC's web-based Data Collection System.

Nice to see the walls coming down!
