Convergence theme continues

CRTCThe CRTC has been holding true to a recurring theme of convergence for the past few months.

Yesterday, the Commission released its first report on the communications industry - broadcasting and telecom. Prior to this year, the Commission had published separate annual monitoring reports for the two industries.

The Communications Monitoring Report [html or pdf]provides information on different sectors of the broadcasting and telecommunications industries. This year’s report also includes expanded sections covering new media trends and international perspectives.

For the first time, the CRTC's report will only be available electronically - there are no print versions.

Last month, the CRTC announced its move to a more converged organizational structure.

In January, the CRTC began to campaign for the government to replace the Broadcast and Telecom Acts with a unified Communications Act.

What role will communications policy play in the next election?
