Federal competition authorities are suing the country’s three biggest
wireless providers for a combined $30-million, alleging the carriers
allowed third-party companies to “mislead” mobile subscribers into hefty
fees of which they then took a share.
In separate suits filed Friday in the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice, the Competition Bureau is seeking $10-million each from Rogers
Communications Inc., BCE Inc. and Telus Corp. — the maximum penalty
allowed under law.
The bureau is also suing the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications
Association, the sector’s lobbying body, for $1-million in an
administrative penalty for “facilitating premium text services.”
