CRTC Takes Action to Reduce Roaming Fees for Canadians

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has initiated measures to lower international and domestic roaming fees, responding to complaints about high charges. The CRTC has required mobile providers to offer more affordable options and negotiate new domestic wholesale roaming rates. Companies must report their progress by November 4, 2024. If deemed insufficient, a formal public proceeding may be launched. This move targets consumer affordability and flexibility in roaming services.
