Canada’s Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has reportedly put Telus Corp., one of the country’s largest wireless carriers, in the hot seat over how the company sets prices. The CRTC held public hearings concerning the code of conduct within the industry; in its second day, reports emerged of the telecom authority grilling Telus Corp. over its failure to automatically lower prices for its customers who stick through a three-year contract with the same phone. While earlier statements from the authority suggested the CRTC would shy away from having a direct hand involved in pricing issues of the industry, its chairman Jean-Pierre Blais specifically called-out Telus Corp. on the matter.
