CRTC hearings on broadcasting and new media

By David Canton

Michael notes that the CRTC has issued a notice detailing its upcoming hearings on broadcasting and new media, and asking for interested parties to participate.

The CRTC has essentially kept its hands off the Internet so far.  These hearings will consider whether that should continue, or whether the CRTC should regulate “broadcasting” over the Internet.  This will prove to be an interesting exercise. Anyone who has strong feelings about this should consider participating.

More background and detail is in the CRTC notice itself, in Michaels post, and in an earlier post of mine.
