The Commission has a streamlined procedure for its consideration of applications involving transfers of ownership and changes in the effective control of broadcasting undertakings as well as applications for amendments or extensions of deadlines not requiring a public process. Under this procedure, and on a case-by-case basis, the Commission may approve or deny such an application without first having issued a public notice provided that: a) its examination of the application reveals the presence of no significant policy concern; and b) the Commission is convinced that approval or denial would be consistent with its approvals or denials of previous applications. 2. Where these two conditions are met, the Commission is generally satisfied that a process initiated by a public notice is not required in the public interest, and would unnecessarily delay implementation of the transaction contemplated or of other proposals by the applicant. 3. In the appendices to this public notice, the Commission publishes a list of applications involving transfers of ownership and changes in the effective control of broadcasting undertakings (Appendix 1) as well as applications for amendments or extensions of deadlines (Appendix 2) not requiring a public process, which it has processed during the period 1 September 2007 to 31 October 2007 pursuant to its streamlined procedure.

  • Even Sold Cable Customers to Comcast in Exchange for the Right to Sell AT&T-Branded Telephone Services to Comcast Cable Subscribers in a Joint Venture with Comcast.49
    even sold cable customers to Comcast in exchange for the right to sell AT&T-branded telephone services to Comcast cable subscribers in a joint venture with Comcast.49 AT&T has compelling reasons to enter the local phone business. If AT&T doesn't offer telephone services over its cable systems, it is likely to lose further market share in long distance. Companies that offer bundles ofcommunications services may take business away from companies that offer single services. Moreover, AT&T is well aware that at least one ofthe fonner Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) is likely to win regulatory approval in the near future to enter AT&T's core long distance business.50 Experience in Connecticut with SNET has shown that large numbers ofcustomers will change long distance carriers when they are offered a single package oflocal and long distance. 51 Thus, offering a bundle of services including local telephone service, broadband Internet access and long distance will help to protect AT&T's long distance service revenues. Indeed, offering bundles of communications services including local voice service as a way ofprotecting its long distance market has been in AT&T's plans since 1996, well before it acquired cable companies. 52 Based on customer sUIveys and focus groups done last year, AT&T says that two-thirds ofall customers and more than 90% ofhigh-volurne users want to buy a bundle. 53 If AT&T doesn't sell consumers a bundle, someone else will, and AT&T will lose long distance revenues; ifAT&T sells the bundle, it will regain some ofits lost share ofthe long distance market.

    Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2006-204 Ottawa, 2 June 2006 Complaint by MTS Allstream Inc. against Shaw Cablesystems (SMB) Limited and Videon CableSystems Inc. concerning the use of local availabilities to promote non-programming services In this decision, the Commission dismisses the complaint by MTS Allstream Inc. against Shaw Cablesystems (SMB) Limited and Videon CableSystems Inc. concerning the use of local availabilities to promote non-programming services. Background 1. On 7 December 2005, MTS Allstream Inc. (MTS) filed a complaint against Shaw Cablesystems (SMB) Limited and Videon CableSystems Inc. (collectively Shaw) alleging that Shaw was in violation of one of its conditions of licence by using the local availabilities on U.S. satellite services to advertise Shaw’s non-programming services, including high-speed Internet and telephone services, on Shaw’s two cable broadcasting distribution undertakings (BDUs) serving Winnipeg, Manitoba. 2. The term “local availabilities” refers to the approximately two minutes per hour of air time set aside in the programming of certain U.S. satellite programming services for use by distributors in the United States. The current policy governing the use of local availabilities by Canadian BDUs was first articulated by the Commission in Proposal to insert certain promotional material in the local availabilities of U.S. satellite services, Decision CRTC 95-12, 18 January 1995. Over the years, the Commission has approved applications by Canadian BDUs so that, today, the majority of them have conditions of licence authorizing the use of local availabilities for the distribution of certain promotional material. 3. Specifically, the standard condition of licence imposed on BDUs requires that at least 75% of the local availabilities be made available for use by licensed Canadian programming services for the insertion of messages promoting their respective services, or be used by BDUs for the distribution of unpaid Canadian public service announcements and of messages promoting the community channel.
