With the conclusion of the CRTC New Media hearing last week, the Commission will now digest the many hours of testimony and thousands of pages of documents with the goal of reaching a decision on the future of new media exception/regulation later this year (day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). While no one knows what the CRTC will do, this posting contains my best guess.
The hearings highlighted that there are several new media broadcasting platforms and that the potential solutions differ for each. I think three in particular will garner attention – fixed Internet, wireless/mobile Internet, and Internet radio.
