This should comes as no surprise to anyone. BCE is asking the feds to overturn a CRTC decision ordering the company to give independent competitors access to its Fibre Network. The idea was to encourage competition, which would hopefully lead to lower prices. 

Bell, of course, will do anything to avoid that, and is pulling out that old chestnut about how it will discourage "investment" and thus actually harm consumers instead. They've already appealed the order to a federal court but no decision has been rendered yet. So they've turned their guns on the federal government instead.

Funny how whenever there's a threat to its monopoly, Bell insists it will make it less likely to invest in expansion of its services. The public is watching and hopefully, the government will do the right thing and tell Bell to go pound sand - and to share that sand with its competitors.
