/In this decision, the Commission decides that it is in the public interest to establish a set of principles to facilitate IP voice network interconnections between network operators while allowing market forces to shape the details of the arrangements. Specifically, in areas where a carrier provides IP voice interconnection to an affiliate, a division of its operations, or an unrelated service provider, the carrier must negotiate a similar arrangement with any other carrier that requests such an arrangement. Within six months of a formal request, an arrangement is to be concluded./ http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/com100/2012/r120119.htm
I think that your subject is a bit misleading. This decision does not 'outlaw' non-IP interconnection, nor does it obligate a carrier that is not currently IP-interconnected (if such a carrier exists) to become so connected. It only levels the playing field and ensures that all IP-interconnected carriers make IP interconnection available to any other carrier that is interested in it, not just the 'chosen few'.
