While the CRTC hasn’t ruled yet on a delay requested by Rogers Communications Inc. due to the complexity of adjusting its IT system, the regulator has agreed to consider it quickly. It’s all but certain that the Canadian telecom industry’s revised wireless code of conduct won’t be fully implemented before Christmas, including a change in the way customers are billed when data usage goes over their contract’s limit. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has also given the other wireless carriers until Friday to comment — opening the door to other requests from Rogers Communication’s intensely competitive rivals. The CRTC had given the industry until Dec. 1 to make a number of changes to how they do business with consumers. The revised wireless code, which originally went into effect in 2013, would tie data caps for shared plans to single accounts, no matter how many devices are listed.
