Canada regulator enforces internet speed-matching
Canada's telecom and broadcast regulator ruled on Monday that incumbent telecom carriers must give new entrants access to their high-speed fiber networks at same speed they offer their own customers, but that they can charge a 10 percent mark-up.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) also said cable companies, which have provided speed-matching for third-party providers since 2006, must make it easier for secondary Internet service providers to access their networks.
