  1. RT @Mark_Goldberg: Reminder to all that the CRTC hearing opens at 8:30 this morning, not the usual 9:00am
  2. damn. wanted to hear #bell and I'm in meetings tomorrow #crtc #netneutrality
  3. @bramabramson of course, it's not just the analog svcs that compete for pipe space. digital svcs do too (e.g. IPTV)
  4. @bramabramson not thinking of as band-aids... just thinking in terms of technologically obsolete services impacting overall capacity #crtc
  5. RT @cippic: Denton: I'm getting bored so lets have a fight. #netneutrality
  6. @gregobr i'm sure they could (at least in urban centres)... if the business incentive was there
  7. @gregobr @jacobglick likewise, if telcos discontinued analog phone offerings, much additional capacity potential? #crtc
  8. @gregobr @jacobglick ... and how much could be freed up by eliminating *analog* cable service? #crtc
  9. RT @ACTRAnat: ISPs are up today at #crtc Internet traffic hearings. Quebecor, Shaw, Bell to come. Listen here: http://bit.ly/1bcwhq
  10. capped internet svc is like leasing a car. u can drive car at full speed but if u do too much u pay excess mileage charges . good analogy?
  11. Nanaimo MP: "The CRTC decided on July 5 not to go with a fee-for-carriage model." Oops. http://bit.ly/134ynC #crtc #ndp (via @bramabramson)
  12. RT @mpjamesmoore: StatsCan: Revenues for tv broadcasting industry up 5.4% from 07-08. Private tv broadcasters earned profits of $691m in 08.
  13. @jason_roks @gregobr rights of way = true; what "access to public infrastructure for decades at no cost"? #crtc
  14. @jason_roks Bell sold most of stake in BellGlobemedia... hence the name change to CTVglobemedia. only 15% stake today #crtc
  15. @jason_roks oops... forgot the Quebec market in earlier response. Quebecor Media has BDU, ISP and broadcast ops. #crtc
  16. @jason_roks there's huge overlap, of course, between ISPs and BDUs... but not brdcstrs #crtc
  17. @jason_roks most big bdcstrs aren't owned by ISPs Rogers=yes, CBC=no, CanWest=no, CTV= Bell has *minor* stake #crtc
  18. good question! RT @gregobr: Why aren't biggest bandwidth users of all, the broadcasters, taking part in network management hearing? #crtc
  19. RT @CBCNews: Broken guitar song gets airline's attention http://tinyurl.com/nef94w
  20. RT @parlique: "united (airlines) breaks guitars" .. http://bit.ly/rI2ef ... sucks being united when this is circulating around ...
