Almost scary. Made a #CRTC submission yesterday which included wireless incumbents fees for SIM cards. And now I am getting an ad from Telenor producing some SIM cards. Likely because I did some google searches.
apparently SGP.32 is a new protocol for eSIM provisioning.

@rexbron @dyckron It is actually worse. The wholesale price TSI and others are complaininga bout is only for the last mile, the fibre between the house and the central office. The #CRTC mandated wholesale price for this is higher than many of the Bell Canada and flanker brand offers for full retail Internet access.

@EdwinG #CRTC Telecom Regulatory Policy 2017-200 Review of the Wireless Code
https://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2017/2017-200.htm
Look for "Unlocking" at paragraph 261, then "Commission Analisis and determination". at 291
and at paragraph 311:
starting no later than 1 December 2017, any devices provided by a WSP to the customer for the purpose of providing wireless services must be provided unlockedTelus is doing this due to loss of its lucrative roaming revenues sicne people just load esims whenever traveling.

https://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2017/2017-104.htmNote: after 2009-657 Bell continued to throttle individual apps but as it upgraded its network the new routers were too fast for its throttling boxes, so Bell took it out).

PIAC never filed a stay, filed their Part 1 with #CRTC
and when I filed mine, PIAC filed a procedural letter requesting CRTC reject my submission, accusing me of plagiarism.PIAC was so widely criticised for its procedural request that it managed to have its letter pulled from the record, making me look like I was responding to imaginary letter that wasn't there.
Had PIAC succeeded, it would have had sole reply to all submissions (Part 1) and made more money.

When Vidéotron launched its "Musique Illimitée" service, I annouced on Twitter I would file a Part 1 due to "net neutrality" concept violation. (27(2) undue preverence in Telecom Act).
An hour of two later I got phone call from the PIAC lawyer suggesting we file at same time, then insisiting he needed to file first because they were to file a "stay" with court to first stop the Videotron service. I agreed

yeah ! @tamir_CA would be proud of me ! The broadcasting people accepted my submission on the 29th (Monday) which had been due on the 25th (Thursday) despite my having no excuse other than simply having forgotten the deadline.
What is interesting in this public consultation is that it is just one cycle of submisisons and replies are not (yet) planned).
