CRTC Launches Consultation for Standardized Internet Plan Labels
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has initiated a public consultation to simplify the process of comparing home internet plans. The proposal involves introducing standardized labels displaying key information such as price and speed. This initiative aims to empower consumers with clearer choices, potentially influencing service provider transparency and marketing practices. With a deadline for comments set for February 20, 2025, this consultation is a part of the CRTC's broader Consumer Protections Action Plan.
