The House of Commons industry committee voted Friday to summon Rogers executives to Ottawa for a study on the company’s massive service outage, capping a week of formal demands for answers over what went wrong.
They plan to call witnesses from Rogers and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission as well as Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne. Champagne said the CRTC would conduct a formal inquiry into the outage and on Tuesday, the regulator sent Rogers dozens of questions and a July 22 deadline to respond.
Byron Holland, CEO of the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, an internet advocacy group, called the nationwide Rogers outage “a wake-up call for Canada.”
