Business Insider had on Monday reported that the iPhone maker was testing a so -
called mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) service in the United States, which would involve it renting capacity from one or more network operators to sign up customers to its own phone and data plans.
In a media
call, CRTC chairman Ian Scott confirmed, however, that the commission was re-affirming its decision that Wi - Fi does not count as a home
network, effectively closing the door to Wi - Fi - first
mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) for the time being.
