Most of Canada’s larger carriers had argued for reforms, saying the traditional wholesale rate-setting method has resulted in competitors paying them less than the break-even cost.

They instead wanted to bring in commercial negotiations as the method for setting the majority of wholesale service rates, saying that model would provide greater opportunity to meet competitor-specific needs while minimizing unnecessary regulation.

To the extent that the CRTC needs reform, it needs change in who is running it. Letting the oligopoly leverage their power advantage over wholesale buyers like TekSavvy (rip) is most definitely not the answer. And who are they to define what 'unnecessary' regulation is, anyways?
