AVAILABLE SERVICES IN CANADA
Canada has a market-oriented economic system and high living standards. Since World War II, the impressive growth of the manufacturing, mining, and service sectors has transformed the nation from a largely rural economy into one primarily industrial and urban. The Canadian economy suffered some stagnation in the last few years, but recent economic data are encouraging and showing signs of readiness for future growth.

DETAILS
The Internet penetration rate is one of the highest in the world, reaching 92.7% of the population by the end of 2018. Much of the investment among telecom companies has been channelled into LTE infrastructure to capitalise of consumer demand for mobile data services in the last few years, while there has also been further investment in 5G. There has also been a concentration of investment in fixed-line infrastructure, focussed on FttP. The DSL segment is beginning to lose market share as customers are migrated to fibre. At the same time, fixed-line telephony services are dwindling as customers prefer mobile networks and VoIP.
TELECOMS MARKET
The Canadian telecom market continues to show steady development as operators invest in network upgrades. Much of this work is being supported by regulatory efforts to ensure that operators have spectrum available to develop 5G services, for which a range of auctions are planned between 2020 and 2022. Canada has a broadband penetration rate that is several percentage points above the OECD average. Government policy has encouraged the extension of broadband to rural and regional areas, with the result that services are almost universally available. Cable broadband is the principal access platform, closely followed by DSL. The main cablecos are upgrading their networks to the DOCSIS3.1 standard, which can deliver data at 1Gb/s and above. The Canadian Radio-Television and TelecommunicationsCommission (CRTC) is the administrative office that regulates and supervises broadcasting and telecommunications in Canada.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Canada enjoys a substantial trade surplus with the United States, which absorbs about three-fourths of Canadian merchandise exports each year. Canada is the US’s largest foreign supplier of energy, including oil, gas, and electric power, and a top source of US uranium imports. Given its abundant natural resources, highly skilled labor force, and modern capital plant, Canada enjoyed solid economic growth from 1993 through 2007. Buffeted by the global economic crisis, the economy dropped into a sharp recession in the final months of 2008. Canada’s major banks, however, emerged from the financial crisis of 2008-09 among the strongest in the world, owing to the early intervention by the Bank of Canada and the financial sector’s tradition of conservative lending practices and strong capitalization. Canada now ranks third in the world in proved oil reserves behind Saudi Arabia and Venezuela and is the world’s fifth-largest oil producer. Given its abundant natural resources, highly skilled labor force, and modern capital stock, Canada’s economy posted strong growth in 2017 at 3%, and further growth, although probably at a slower rate, is expected in the next years.
LOCAL PROVIDERS
INCUMBENT OPERATOR
In Canada, an incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) is an established company, including Telus (BC Tel and Alberta Government Telephones), SaskTel, Manitoba Telephone Systems (MTSAllstream), Bell Canada and Aliant, as well as any other company that previously held a monopoly to serve a community and continues to do so, or a successor company if it was bought and absorbed. These incumbents must serve entire exchange areas as a “provider of last resort”. Many of these companies operate primarily in high-cost serving areas and operate under an especial regulatory framework.
