Canada - Major Telecommunication and Cable Operators - Overview & Statistics

Synopsis

Archived report: this report was archived in December 2010 and has not been updated.

The major operators in the Canadian telecommunications are broadly categorised as either incumbents or competitors. Incumbents are the telephone companies that provided telecom services on a regional monopoly basis prior to the introduction of competition and include the out-of-territory affiliates of the incumbents. There are a number of categories of competitors, with most competition coming from the cable sector in the form of rapidly expanding cable broadband, VoIP and more recently mobile services.

This report provides highlights of the sector and outlines the major activities of the largest incumbents and cable companies together with their key financial data and operating statistics available in early 2010.
