No they do not, they are actually forced to use rogers as an intermediate. You realize i worked for both rogers and videotron when i was in college? When you buy roaming time outside of Canada from videotron, you simply pay rogers to use rogers line.
Notice how rogers was the one company on videotron side of the ruling lol.

Funny cause from what I'm looking at now:
Videotron: $10 for full use of plan while in the US.
Fido: $20 for 100 text messages and 1gb data while in the US.
Rogers doesn't have a network in the US, they partner with US telecomms.

You don't pay to use Rogers network outside of Canada because rogers network does not exist outside of Canada, especially not globally.

EVERY carrier pays to roam outside of Canada because every carrier relies on foreign networks to roam.

Wrong. Rogers was on the side of the CRTC. It was companies like Bell, Telus, etc who were on Videotron's side.
To Clarify: Bell and Telus were on the side of differential pricing. This was the issue that the CRTC ruled against. It's the act of any company giving preferential treatment to another company/service at the expense of other companies.
Videotron makes their music streaming service not use up date. Therefore a consumer is more likely to use their service than iTunes or Google Play Music, as those services would use data. This creates an unfair market condition. Which Bell/Telus/Videotron were for. Whereas Rogers was against.

Netflix is a basically a fundamental human right at this point, so internet service providers should learn to shut up and give us the bandwidth we need to live - or we will be forced to nationalize the internet because they can't be trusted to align their business model to societies best interest.
Put that guillotine above their head, and then ask them again how much they want to shutdown all video traffic on the internet because it's costing them bandwidth, and they priced their plans around the assumption that they would charge people for more bandwidth than they anticipated them to actually use, and are shocked - shocked - to find that people actually need gigabytes of data every month.
So basically Telus and Bell were trying to price gouge everybody some more.
Data is data... It always has been. Be it I use all my data every month or not It does not roll over to the next month.
With rogers thou I have unlimited so I dont even care. Stream every day to youtube... No issues. 100 Mbps down 15Mbps up.

Anyone who is stupid enough to pay for netflix now a days deservers to be price gouged by telus and bell.
Is this the first or second time they actually ruled in favor of the people? I'm wondering if Rogers spoke in favor of net neutrality because they knew Bell could outclass them with services.

They usually are more in line with the oligopoly. That's why the state of the internet, tv, and cell phones suck and is so expensive.
