MONTRÉAL, June 20, 2025 /CNW/ – Robert Malcolmson, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal and Regulatory Officer of Bell Canada, today issued the following statement in response to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) ruling upholding its August 2024 decision to allow large well-capitalized communications incumbents to resell services on each other’s fibre networks:

 

“Bell Canada is profoundly disappointed that the CRTC has reaffirmed its decision to allow Canada’s large telecommunications companies to resell services on each other’s fibre networks – despite overwhelming opposition from the vast majority of Internet service providers, many suppliers, unions, municipalities, provinces and consumer advocacy groups.

This decision has already significantly undermined the business case for future network expansion. As a direct result, Bell has reduced its capital expenditures by $500 million in 2025 alone and by over $1.2 billion since the CRTC’s initial decision in November 2023. The CRTC policy will continue to have major negative impacts well into the future.
