CRTC Launches Consultation on Internet Plan Transparency
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has initiated a public consultation to improve consumer transparency in Internet service plans. The proposal considers mandatory standardized labels for Internet services, featuring price and speed details, similar to food nutrition labels. This effort aims to facilitate easier comparison for Canadians. The consultation is open until February 20, 2025, with a public hearing scheduled for June 10, 2025. The CRTC’s move is part of broader efforts to enhance consumer protection, which includes potential future consultations on service outages.
