Telecommunications Service Providers Registration Lists
Entities that wish to provide telecommunications services in Canada must register to appear on one of the CRTC's registration lists. Entities may register on more than one list as long as they meet the obligations associated with each list.
- Facilities-Based Providers own or operate a transmission facility used by that provider or another provider to offer telecommunications services to the public for compensation.
- Non-Facilities-Based Providers offer basic telecommunications services to the public including services provided by exempt transmission apparatus.
- Basic International Telecommunications (BITS) Licensees carry telecommunications traffic between Canada and another country.
