Bell Canada Accused Of Anticompetition

The CRTC has found that Bell gave itself a significant competitive advantage by giving their mobile customers exclusive rights to popular broadcast content.  This CRTC bans carriers from giving access to TV programming exclusively to their own subscribers.


Considering how Bell owns many television networks, it is alarming that exclusive rights to subscribers was permitted.  The practice as been going on for many years now and would lead many in Canada to believe the CRTC has done too little too late.  Is it possible that Rogers had a role in this CRTC decision?
