Minister Bains, Let’s Rethink Canada’s Spectrum Auction
Yesterday’s announcement by the Government of Canada to drive down cell phone prices will only end up costing Canada in the long run.
In a press conference held
yesterday, Minister Navdeep Bains of Innovation Science and Economic
Development Canada (ISED) laid out a plan that will not only allow the
government to evoke further regulation to boost competition but allow it to
sell off spectrum to the highest bidder.
It is a case of short-term gain that will lead to long-term pain.
