Are you 100% certain about that?

I work for a telco in Canada and the CRTC has just passed a ruling to allow competition into the market for the first time ever in this operating area.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think at least one of the new competitiors coming in is foreign owned. They'll be offering wireless, wireline and internet services.

This is correct. Please read about Egyptian Wind Mobile having issues entering market because they didn't have enough Canadian ownership.

That article is from 2011.

In July 2012, the Federal Government removed that restriction[1]

(This applies as long as the total annual telecommunications revenues of the new telco represent less than 10% of total Canadian telecommunications revenues, so it basically applies to every newcomer, which is what we have in our operating area)
