The Canadian Radio-Television Commission (CRTC) makes decisions about who can be licensed to operate radio or television stations, and who can sell various telecommunication services. Recently the CRTC agreed that one firm should have the exclusive right (i.e., a monopoly) to sell Direct-to-Home satellite TV services. The Canadian government reacted to this decision by ordering the CRTC to allow other firms to apply for the right to sell the same service. Does the Canadian government have the right to intervene in this matter? Why or why not? Why do you think the Canadian government would want to intervene in this matter?
