message: I'm not sure why the section on the CRTC taking over Telecommunications was deleted.  The edits are not clear - it is added (it was already there) and then deleted.  None of the edits refer to it being deleted. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gcapp1959 (talk • contribs) 2005-06-28T18:51:14 (UTC)
:I think it's fixed now.  The article is bit of a dog's breakfast, but I guess it will get sorted out slowly.70.80.27.104 02:11, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Under the Regulation of the Internet, I'd like to add a subsection about the release from October 5, 2011 of the CRTC's investigation into "Over The Top" or programming access over the Internet.
In May of 2011, in response to the increase presence of Over-the-Top (OTT) programming, the CRTC put a call out to the public to provide input on the impact OTT programming is having on Canadian content and existing broadcasting subscriptions through satellite and cable.    On October 5, 2011 the CRTC released their findings that included consultations with stakeholders from the telecommunications industry, media producers, and cultural leaders among others.  The evidence was inconclusive, suggesting that an increased availability of OTT options is not having a negative impact on the availability or diversity of Canadian content, one of the key policy mandates of the CRTC, nor are there signs that there has been a significant decline of televisions subscriptions through cable or satellite.  However, given the rapid progress in the industry they are working on a more in depth study to be concluded in May 2012.

message: I would like to add some information to this section regarding the CRTC's rulings allowing the likes of Bell and Rogers to continue traffic shaping of both their own customers and third party wholesale ISPs. Just wondering if there are any objections to me adding this. WookieInHeat (talk) 18:33, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Controversial decisions" 

message: Wow... this article really needs work. I wrote this short section below regarding Usage Based Billing. Perhaps someone would allow me to integrate this content. We really need to cleanup some of this mess.
On Jan 11th 2011, the CRTC released a controversial decision  which would allow Bell and Telus to implement Usage Based Billing. This decision by the CRTC has produced a backlash from Canadian consumers  and business alike. As of Feb 2, 2011 over 350,000 people have signed an on-line petition urging the government to overturn the CRTC decision.

thread_title:  Usage Based Billing 

message: I read somewhere on the MuchMusic article that "MTV itself was not permitted in Canada due to CRTC restrictions on format protection."
Can someone perhaps add this to the "Controversial decisions" section as well as expand on it a little bit more? I'd like to know more about this.
Thanks,

replies: text: This isn't exactly a "controversial" decision, just long-standing CRTC policy. As I understand it, the CRTC's rationale is that a Canadian-based channel that airs Canadian programming would be preferable from a cultural standpoint, while genre protection ensures that the market isn't too crowded. AFAIK, MTV (U.S.) was never specifically denied access, but simply never attempted it as a result of the policy. I'll add a section on this to the article on specialty channels if I get a chance to research it further. — stickguy (:^›)— home - talk - 14:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a good idea; I was about to suggest the same thing. It's not a "controversial" decision, as such, but a separate section on CRTC policy around specialty channels would be a good idea. (Actually, cable licensing in general, come to think of it: it could touch on things like the 4 + 1 rule, community channels, simultaneous substitution.) To answer JT's question in the meantime, American cable channels can be added to Canadian cable lineups if an equivalent Canadian service isn't already in operation, but format protection comes into play if a Canadian channel is already offering equivalent programming. But it's not solely about American channels; the CRTC also wouldn't license a new Canadian channel to directly compete with MuchMusic. Bearcat 14:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Controversial decisions" section 

message: Shouldn't the first sentence of this article say what CRTC is, rather than when it was created? I came here not sure whether this was a private or governmental organization and I was not enlightened. 137.122.30.214 (talk) 00:36, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Not that we could (or should) ever describe it as "19 industry 'double dippers' looking to promote and create cultural identity" in a neutral encyclopedia, mind you. And we'll never mind that the CRTC does far more "making sure that radio stations aren't using spare transmitters to scramble their competition's signals" than "creating cultural identity" anyway.

thread_title: Should be added to Category:Canadian federal departments and agencies

message: The CRTC’s predecessor agencies are the Board of Broadcast Governors (BBG) in respect of broadcasting, and the Canada Transport Commission (CTC, as it then was in 1976) in respect of telecommunications.

message: The section where it says: 
"The station was later sold to RNC Media, but instead of renewing its licence the CRTC issued RNC a licence to launch a new radio station on the same frequency."
Cannot be verified and should be removed. Please refer to https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2013/2013-517.htm section 22 for more information. It seems that the CRTC did indeed renew the licence. Bcoops (talk) 03:58, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
