Cabinet already rejected appealBell had appealed last year's CRTC decision to both the CRTC itself and the federal cabinet. Canada's telecommunications regulator has reconfirmed that Bell must sell access to its high-speed fibre networks to independent internet providers, opening the door to more competition in high-speed internet packages. That access would allow independent internet providers, who often can't build their own "last-mile" fibre connections to Canadians' homes, to create and sell their own fibre internet packages that compete with Bell's. Cheaper fibre internet packages may soon be available to Canadians. The independent internet providers would still be responsible for building or getting access to other networks to transport data once it gets farther away from Canadians' homes.
