UTC Canada association formed
Canadian utility companies have announced the creation of UTC Canada affiliated with the United Telecom Council in the U.S. The association will open an office in Ottawa, and has retained Laurence Dunbar, a partner at Johnston & Buchan, to serve as its general counsel. The new association will have three committees: the Internal Systems Reliability Committee, chaired by Manitoba Hydro’s Murray Matiowsky; the Canadian Utelco Committee, chaired by Hydro One Telecom’s Richard Bertolo; and a Broadband Over PowerLine Committee, chaired by Telecom Ottawa’s David Dobbin. The association’s first chair will be Ian Collins of FibreWired Hamilton. A web site for the association has been created at http://www.utccanada.ca/.
