INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND A key priority of the Government of Canada’s innovation and commercialization strategy is to support the development of globally competitive industrial clusters. There is a strong indication from market reviews that industrial clusters play an important role in the overall economic development of Canada. Consequently, the intent is to accelerate the development of existing technology clusters where Canada has the potential to develop world-class expertise and to identify emerging clusters with strong growth potential. The purpose of this project was to complete a cluster study of Information & Communication Technologies (ICT), Life Sciences and their converging next generation technologies (e.g., bioinformatics, biophotonics, biosensors, nanotechnology, biochips, medical robotics, medical wireless devices) in four major Canadian cities (i.e., Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa). The project objectives were to: • Develop an improved understanding of ICT/Life Sciences and their converging next generation technology clusters in terms of state of evolution, strengths/weaknesses and key opportunities; • Provide a comparative analysis of four leading Canadian clusters, as well as comparisons with selected US biotechnology centres using recognized methodologies; • Help break down silos between sectors and stimulate discussion of community needs and aspirations; • Suggest realistic scenarios for sector growth; and • Help accelerate cluster development by informing policy decisions and the design of new initiatives. This report outlines the approach used in cluster analysis, provides the results of the Vancouver analysis, identifies key opportunities for cluster growth, and outlines some potential growth scenarios for the Vancouver clusters. APPROACH A framework-based approach (see Appendix E for further details and definitions of terms) was used. It consisted of: • Assessing cluster capacity by building a detailed understanding of the cluster and its support infrastructure at the firm level; • Understanding the operational dynamics of the cluster through the use of an analytical framework based on generally recognized and accepted success criteria; ICT/LSB/NRC Cluster Study: Vancouver Cluster Report Module 4 M anagem ent Inc. • Adding substance and credibility to the

  • Wireless Competition in Canada: an Assessment
    Volume 6•Issue 27•September 2013 WIRELESS COMPETITION IN CANADA: AN ASSESSMENT Jeffrey Church † Professor, Department of Economics and Director, Digital Economy Program, The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary Andrew Wilkins † Research Associate, Digital Economy Program, The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary SUMMARY If there’s one thing Canadians agree on, it’s that Canada’s wireless industry can and should be more competitive. The federal government is on side with the policy objective of having four carriers in every region and has responded with policies that provide commercial advantages to entrants. But, the rub is that there has not been a study that actually assesses the state of competition in wireless services in Canada, until now. Those in favour of policies that will promote and sustain entry point to Canada’s high average revenue per user and low wireless penetration rate (mobile connections per capita) as evidence that there is insufficient competition. The difficulty is that the facts are not consistent with this simplistic analysis. Measurements of wireless penetration are skewed toward countries that maintain the Calling Party Pays Protocol and favour pay-as-you-go plans, both of which encourage inflated user counts. Canada’s participation per capita on monthly plans and minutes of voice per capita are not outliers. Moreover, in terms of smartphone adoption and smartphone data usage, Canada is a global leader, contributing to high average revenue per user. Consistent with being world leaders in the rollout of high speed wireless networks, Canada lead its peer group in capital expenditures per subscriber in 2012: the competition of importance to Canadians is not just over price, but also over the quality of wireless networks.
