The New Telecommunications Sector Foreign Investment Regime and Rural Broadband
Summary. Canada's new foreign investment rules and wireless spectrum auctions aim to increase competition but will likely fail rural communities. Analysis shows new entrants prefer urban markets, and current regulations weaken the government's ability to meet telecommunications policy goals. The authors argue Canada needs a comprehensive national broadband plan rather than relying on market forces to deliver 4G services to rural and remote areas.
