Ontario Telephone Service Commission
The Ontario Telephone Service Commission was a quasi-judicial regulatory agency which regulated independent telephone companies in Ontario, Canada. It reported to the provincial legislature through the minister of transportation and communications.
It served as the regulator for the independent companies until April 26, 1994, when a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada in the case Téléphone Guevremont Inc. v. Quebec, 1 S.C.R. 878
transferred Canada's provincially regulated telephone companies to federal jurisdiction, meaning that they would be regulated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
