In another move that should serve to open Canada's North to fair and increased competition, the CRTC released today, January 5, Telecom Decision CRTC 2012-4 concerning SSi's application with respect to Northwestel's backbone connectivity services.  These services are known as V-Connect and I-Gate.  SSi filed a complaint that the rates Northwestel charges competitors, including SSi, for the services are unjust and discriminatory.
