In June, the regulator issued its final decision on the contentious matter, which has pitted Telus Corp. against rivals Bell Canada and Rogers Communications Inc., and many smaller providers that opposed the framework.

Now this is odd. No further detail to clarify who those were and what their objections were. Perhaps those were the smaller providers now owned by Rogers and Bell?

Yeah, there's a single line that says, "some independent carriers raised concerns that it would make it more difficult for them to compete against larger players," which is vague.

I recall Tek had a problem with a court decision upholding some rule by the CRTC but I think it was about rates (too high) and I think it was older than this.
