This is the second installment in this year’s series. Whereas the first report in this series examines the growth, development and upheaval that are transforming the media industries in Canada, this report takes a step further by asking a deceptively simple but profoundly important question: have these industries—individually and collectively—become more or less concentrated over time? The report does so by examining the state of competition and concentration in the mobile wireless and wireline telecoms market, broadband internet access, cable, satellite & IPTV services, broadcast television and radio, specialty and pay television services, online video subscription and download services, newspapers, magazines, internet advertising, search engines, social media as well as mobile and desktop operating systems and browsers. This year’s report also adds significantly to our efforts last year to examine the dynamics of advertising spending across all media in Canada, i.e. TV, radio, online, newspapers, magazines and out-of-doors. As we noted in our first report, we have also significantly expanded our coverage by taking some preliminary steps to capture a broader range of audiovisual media services that are delivered over the internet, including: 1. Music downloads and streaming music subscriptions; 2. Online gaming, gaming applications, game downloads or in-game purchases 3. App stores, in particular Google Play and Apple Appstore. Collectively, we call these latter sectors the digital audiovisual media services, or digital AVMS for short, a category that also includes internet advertising as well as online video subscription and download services such as Netflix, Crave, SportsNet Now, Apple iTunes and Amazon Video. We treat the digital AVMS sectors as being distinct from more established content media that do not depend on internet aggregation and distribution as a core part of their business models and activities, e.g. broadcast TV, specialty and pay TV, radio; music, newspapers and magazines. We call the sum-total of all these media “the network media economy”. We analyse each sector on a stand-alone basis, and then scaffold up from by grouping related, comparable industry sectors into three more general categories: the “telecoms and internet infrastructure media”, the digital and non-digital AVMS and finally, “core internet applications and sectors”. Finally, we draw all of the sectors together into a birds-eye view of the network media economy as a whole. We call this the “scaffolding method”. At each step of the way, we use two common metrics—Concentration Ratios and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI)—to determine whether these markets—individually and collectively—are competitive or concentrated, while paying keen attention to trends over time and in international comparison where possible. In addition to adding new and emerging sectors to our analysis, and further developing the new line of analysis with respect to advertising that we have pursued over the last two years, this report delves deeper into the state of competition in local and regional mobile wireless, retail internet access and “cable TV” services, as opposed to a purely national level of analysis. To do so, we examine the www.cmcrp.org Candian Media Concentration Research Project ii state of mobile wireless competition where the big three national carriers—Rogers, Bell and Telus— now face strong regional rivals in most provinces across the country from, for example, Videotron (Quebec and Ottawa), Freedom Mobile (Ontario, Alberta, BC), Eastlink (Atlantic provinces) and SaskTel (Saskatchewan). We show that competition has improved considerably in Quebec, for example, where Videotron has carved out a 13% market share for itself in the mobile wireless market (and about 15.5% based on subscribers). Since being acquired by Shaw, Freedom Mobile has also expanded its subscriber base from 940,000 in 2016 to 1.5 million last year earlier, while its revenue nearly doubled to $951 million over the same period. Its share of the national wireless market also jumped from 2.3% in 2017 to 3.4% last year (based on revenue), while in Ontario, Alberta and BC where it operates, it has carved out an estimated market share of 6.4%--up from 5% the year before. That said, the big three national mobile network operators—Rogers, Bell and TELUS—have a market share that continues to hover around 91.3% based on revenue—a slight decrease from 92.3% the previous year—or 91% based on subscribers (CWTA, 2019). Concentration levels are even higher in local retail internet access and cable TV markets, where the legacy cable companies and telecoms operators generally account for 87% and nearly 100% of the market, respectively. In short, there are strong reasons for concern in all these markets. Now is not the time to let up on policy measures that have begun to bear at least some fruit, and perhaps good reason to double-down on them—whether the CRTC will do that, however, has been rather doubtful in recent years and mixed messages are coming from other quarters such as the Competition Bureau and Innovation, Science and Economic Development. This report also identifies features of the network media economy that set Canada apart from other countries. In this regard, two things stand out: the sky-high levels of diagonal integration and the extremely high levels of vertical integration that exist in this country. Diagonal integration is where mobile wireless, wireline internet access and cable TV service are owned by one and the same player. In most countries, there are stand-alone mobile network operators (MNOs) such as T-Mobile or Sprint in the US, 3 in the UK and Vodafone throughout Europe and many other areas of the world where it operates whereas in Canada the last stand-alone mobile operator (Wind Mobile) was acquired in 2016 by Shaw. Vertical integration is where communications companies own media content companies. Current levels of vertical integration are exceptionally high in Canada by both historical standards and international standards. Indeed, the scale of vertical integration doubled between 2008 and 2013 and by 2018, four vertically-integrated communications conglomerates in Canada had come to account for 56.5% of the $86.2 billion network media economy: Bell, Rogers, Shaw (Corus) and Quebecor. As a result, Canada stands alone in the developed world on account of the fact that all of the main TV services in the country, except for the CBC and foreign-owned online video-on-demand services (OVODs) such as Netflix, Amazon Video and Apple, are owned by telecoms operators. In the US, by contrast, while there are also four vertically-integrated behemoths—i.e. AT&T (Time Warner), Comcast (NBC-Universal), Charter (Liberty) and Cox—they accounted for just a third of that country’s mammoth $1,087.6 billion (CDN) network media economy in 2018. In the US, like most other countries as well, most broadcast and pay TV services are not owned by telecoms operators—a fact that has important implications in terms of why they have proven to be more resilient and commercially successful than their Canadian counterparts, as this report and our previous report show.

    January 11, 2019 The Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislative Review Panel c/o Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada 235 Queen Street, 1st Floor Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H5 VMedia Inc. (“VMedia”) is grateful for the opportunity to submit comments on the broadcasting and telecommunications legislative review (the “Review”) initiated by Innovation, Science and Economic Development (“ISED”) Canada. Executive Summary The Review ES1.The issues outlined in the terms of reference and the themes described by the panel appointed by ISED to review the relevant legislation (the “Panel”) are extensive. There are seven terms of reference relating to issues to consider in connection with the Telecommunications and Radiocommunication Acts, and eight in connection with the Broadcasting Act. In addition, there are four themes set out by the Panel intended to “help guide its work and structure meaningful dialogue during its consultation process”. ES2.Among those 19 elements of consideration, we note that the word competition is mentioned only twice, with little elaboration or context. ES3.As the second point under both the Telecommunications and Radiocommunication Acts, under the heading “Competition, Innovation, and Affordability”, the question is asked, “Are legislative changes warranted to better promote competition, innovation and affordability?” ES4.In addition, competition is mentioned at the very end of the first of the Panel’s themes, “Reducing Barriers to Access by All Canadian to Advanced Telecommunications Networks”. All of the rest of that theme focuses on the achievements of telephone and cable companies, and the heavy lifting ahead of them as they keep up with digital transformation. ES5.There is no mention at all of competition in the terms of reference relating to the Broadcasting Act.

  • Cologix Torix Case Study
    Internet Exchange Case Study The Toronto Internet Exchange (TorIX) is the largest IX in Canada with more than 175 peering participants benefiting from lower network costs & faster speeds The non-profit Toronto Internet Exchange (TorIX) is a multi-connection point enabling members to use one hardwired connection to exchange traffic with 175+ members on the exchange. With peering participants swapping traffic with one another through direct connections, TorIX reduces transit times for local data exchange and cuts the significant costs of Internet bandwidth. The success of TorIX is underlined by its tremendous growth, exceeding 145 Gbps as one of the largest IXs in the world. TorIX is in Cologix’s data centre at 151 Front Street, Toronto’s carrier hotel and the country’s largest telecommunications hub in the heart of Toronto. TorIX members define their own routing protocols to dictate their traffic flow, experiencing faster speeds with their data packets crossing fewer hops between the point of origin and destination. Additionally, by keeping traffic local, Canadian data avoids international networks, easing concerns related to privacy and security. Above: In Dec. 2014, TorIX traffic peaked above 140 Gbps, with average traffic hovering around 90 Gbps.

Consultation on a New Set of Service Areas for Spectrum Licensing Canada Gazette, Part I, November 27, 2018, Notice No. DGSO-002-18, as amended March 21, 2019 I. INTRODUCTION 1. The following constitute the reply comments of Shaw Communications Inc. (“Shaw”) to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (“ISED” or the “Department”) in connection with the proceeding (the “Consultation”) initiated by Consultation on a New Set of Service Areas for Spectrum Licensing, Notice No. DGSO-002-18 (the “Consultation Document”), as amended by Notice No. DGSO-003-18. 2. As explained in our initial comments, Shaw is generally supportive of the goals and policy objectives that motivate and guide the Department in the present Consultation.1 However, we question the need to establish a new set of nationwide service tiers to achieve them. In fact, the development and use of an overly prescriptive licensing tool at this time could actually diminish efficient spectrum usage and hinder Canada’s ability to meet future wireless needs, especially if the Department’s proposals are not carefully examined and adjusted. 3. Other parties share these reservations.2 Québecor has opposed the Department’s proposal to create Tier 5 licence areas, echoing Shaw’s concerns.3 It has further noted that the Department recently established stricter deployment requirements in order to promote rural deployment by licensees, and that such measures should be given time to take effect.4 Bell has stated that the “creation of Tier

DATED 27 JUNE 2014 IN REVIEW OF WHOLESALE SERVICES AND ASSOCIATED POLICIES, TELECOM NOTICE OF CONSULTATION CRTC 2013-551, 15 OCTOBER 2013, AS AMENDED BY REVIEW OF WHOLESALE SERVICES AND ASSOCIATED POLICIES, TELECOM NOTICE OF CONSULTATION CRTC 2013-551-1, 24 NOVEMBER 2013 21 DECEMBER 2015 4.4 A Focus on Underserved Rural and Minority Communities 59. At least 5 CNOC members provide dedicated services to ethnic minority communities in their serving areas. This includes providing customer service in the native language of the community. In fact, one CNOC member provides 24 x 7 customer support in 7 languages: English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu and Vietnamese. This level of community focused support simply cannot be replicated by large incumbent carriers. 60. Many CNOC members also strive to bring quality telecommunications services to rural areas where access is not otherwise available. Often, this is achieved by deploying reliable fixed wireless services given that area density and geography is not amenable to a practical or cost effective wireline service deployment. CNOC members continue to push the speed and coverage boundaries of these technologies – to the benefit of a segment of consumers that have long been deprived of the benefits of modern connectivity. 4.5 Case Studies 61. CNOC wishes to highlight certain case studies included in this section that consist of select member responses to CNOC(Bell Canada)28Mar14-447 and CNOC(CRTC)28Mar14-448. As noted at the outset of this Part, these case studies further demonstrate the full range of innovations and the associated consumer benefits that some members have come to realize in virtually all aspects of their operations.

    December 6, 2019 VIA Intervention Comment Form Mr. Claude Doucet Secretary General Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2 Dear Mr. Doucet, Subject: Part 1 Application to Review and Vary Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2019-269, The Internet Code 1. The Canadian Communication Systems Alliance (“CCSA”) and the Independent Telecommunications Providers Association (“ITPA”) hereby submit their joint response to the Part 1 Application by Bell, Cogeco, Eastlink, Quebecor Media, SaskTel, Shaw and TELUS (collectively, “the Applicants” or “the large, facilities-based ISPs”) for a Commission review and variance of TRP CRTC 2019-269, “The Internet Code”. 2. In making this joint response, CCSA and ITPA speak for their combined memberships. While some CCSA/ITPA members offer non-facilities-based service outside their home networks, all such members who offer Internet service to the public are small, facilities- based ISPs. Executive Summary 3. The decisions in Telecommunications Regulatory Policy CRTC 2019-269 were based on the Commission’s consideration of an extensive body of evidence gathered in the course of a full public process. 4. That evidence included representations from “over 2,300 individuals, including more than 65 current or past employees of the Service Providers or of third parties offering the Service Providers’ services for sale; the CCTS; consumer and public advocacy groups; researchers; unions representing employees; government agencies and departments; and the 12 Service Providers [the
