Price cap decision another step toward bringing consumers benefits of competitive market

    VANCOUVER, April 30 /CNW/ - Canadian consumers will soon enjoy the
flexibility and innovation fostered by a competitive telecommunications
marketplace thanks to today's announcement of a new price cap framework by the
Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
    The price cap framework regulates the pricing of telephone services
offered by incumbent telecommunications carriers where competitive forces do
not yet justify deregulation.
    "Taken together, the recent forbearance ruling and today's price cap
decision will allow TELUS to bring tremendous competitive benefits to
consumers," said Janet Yale, TELUS executive vice-present of Corporate
Affairs. "The price cap framework will continue to protect customers living in
areas not yet deregulated, while giving them many of the competitive benefits
people living in deregulated communities will soon be enjoying."
    The new price cap regime will go into effect on June 1, 2007.
