Telecommunications in Canada
Telecommunications in Canada encompasses a wide range of services, including internet, telephone, and broadcasting. The industry is primarily dominated by a few major companies, such as Bell Canada, Rogers Communications, and Telus, which provide services to urban and rural areas alike. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulates these services to ensure fair competition and consumer protection.
The country has made significant investments in expanding broadband access, aiming to connect remote and underserved communities. As of 2023, approximately 90% of Canadians have access to high-speed internet, reflecting ongoing efforts to improve connectivity and support economic growth across the nation.
