Dear Mr. Helm: RE: Comments - Canada Gazette Notice DGTP-004-01: Proposal to introduce the mobile service on a co-primary basis with the broadcasting service in the frequency band 746-806 MHz Rogers Communications Inc. is pleased to file the attached comments in response to Industry Canada’s call for comments in the above noted proceeding. If there are any questions regarding these comments, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned. Sincerely, Ken Engelhart KE:jt Attach. INDUSTRY CANADA GAZETTE NOTICE: DGTP-004-01 PROPOSAL TO INTRODUCE THE MOBILE SERVICE ON A CO- PRIMARY BASIS WITH THE BROADCASTING SERVICE IN THE FREQUENCY BAND 746-806 MHz COMMENTS OF ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. September 24, 2001 COMMENTS OF ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. DGTP-004-01 INTRODUCTION Rogers Communications Inc. (“RCI”) is pleased to submit the following comments in response to a public consultation initiated by Industry Canada (“the Department”) in Canada Gazette Notice DGTP-004-01, dated June 8, 2001, entitled ‘Proposal to Introduce the Mobile Service on a Co-primary Basis with the Broadcasting Service in the Frequency Band 746-806 MHz’ (“the Notice”). RCI has holdings in a number of enterprises including Rogers Wireless and Rogers Broadcasting, companies with interests in mobile communications and television broadcasting, respectively. Within the Notice, the Department invites comments on a number of issues related to the proposed introduction of the Mobile Service in the band 746-806 MHz (“the Band”). The Band is currently allocated on a primary basis to the Broadcasting Service. The US Federal Communications Commission (“the FCC”) has taken steps to permit mobile and fixed services in the Band and has developed a corresponding band plan. Within its band plan, the FCC has allocated 24 MHz for public safety services and 36 MHz for commercial mobile services. The Notice asks whether the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations should be modified to permit the use of mobile services in the Band on a co-primary basis with broadcasting services. The proposed modification includes a note that the use of part of the Band for mobile services will be contingent upon the evolution of television broadcasting to digital transmission, and will be subject to a spectrum utilization policy developed through additional public consultation. The Department anticipates that the spectrum policy consultation would “seek to SEPTEMBER 24, 2001 Page 2 of 9 COMMENTS OF ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. DGTP-004-01 identify, where possible, a modest amount of spectrum in [the Band] for public safety and possibly for commercial mobile services taking into account the DTV transition”. Other questions posed within the Notice include whether there is merit in having the same band plan as adopted in the US for public safety, whether a common technical system standard for public safety should be fostered, and whether Canada should harmonize its band plan with the US band plan. As outlined in more detail below, RCI is supportive of the Department’s proposal to make spectrum available, where possible, within the Band for public safety services in a manner that does not compromise television broadcasting within the Band. However, RCI considers that it is premature to adopt the US band plan as far as commercial mobile services are concerned. SHARING BETWEEN BROADCAST AND PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE BAND The Department has indicated that there is increasing pressure in Canada to designate certain portions of the Band for mobile services, and in particular, public safety services. Within the Notice, the Department states the following: Pressing spectrum demand is coming from the public safety community on both sides of the Canada/US border to accommodate advanced law enforcement and safety services. Accommodating such spectrum demand would result in the delivery of more effective public safety services for the well-being of all Canadians. RCI concurs with the Department that the allocation of necessary additional spectrum for public safety services is in the public interest and fully supports the Department’s proposal to modify the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations as a first step towards permitting these services within the Band. SEPTEMBER 24, 2001 Page 3 of 9 COMMENTS OF ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. DGTP-004-01 The Department has also indicated that the underlying principle of making any provision for mobile services within the Band is that the broadcasting service will not be adversely affected. Within the Notice, the Department states: A near term goal for initiating this consultation is to eventually propose the identification of a modest portion of spectrum, in channels 60-69, to accommodate public safety and commercial mobile requirements while meeting the needs of broadcasters in their rollout of DTV. The Department believes it is possible to accomplish this goal with a relatively minimal impact on the rollout of DTV in Canada. RCI agrees with the Department that the accommodation of public safety requirements must also meet the needs of broadcasters. Whether in the context of current analog allotments, or in the future rollout of DTV, television broadcasters and viewers must not be adversely affected by the introduction of mobile services in the Band. Careful and effective coordination between broadcasters and public safety operators will be crucial to the achievement of these goals and to ensuring that interference is minimized or eliminated. CANADIAN CONTEXT DOES NOT SUPPORT COMMERCIAL MOBILE IN THE BAND The Department has suggested that, like the demand from the public safety community, a strong demand exists within the commercial mobile community for spectrum within the Band. The Department states within the Notice that: There is also an increase in the spectrum demand for commercial mobile services that connects Canadians to the knowledge-based economy via the Internet. SEPTEMBER 24, 2001 Page 4 of 9 COMMENTS OF ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. DGTP-004-01 In RCI’s view, the Canadian context is not supportive of an allocation for commercial mobile services within the Band for the following reasons. As the Department states in the Notice, very few DTV allotments have been made within the Band in the US. As a result, there is available spectrum in the Band to accommodate both public safety and commercial mobile services, without significant disruption to U.S. television broadcasters and viewers. However, this situation does not exist in Canada. Instead, both analog and digital broadcasting allotments have been made in the Band in Canada. As the Department observes within the Notice, “there are a certain number of digital allotments made for an interim period between channels 60-69, particularly in some major urban centres”. In other words, unlike in the US, the Band is required for television broadcasting in Canada and, as a result, less spectrum will be available within the Band for both public safety and commercial mobile services. There are digital allotments in the Band in a number of major urban centers. For example, digital allotments have been made in several markets along the Windsor (Ontario) to Quebec City corridor, including Windsor, Chatham, London, Kitchener, Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa, Hull, Montreal, Sherbrooke and Quebec City. Many of these are precisely the locations where demand for additional public safety and commercial mobile spectrum will likely be highest. There is also a far greater reliance in Canada than in the US on re-broadcasting of analog television signals. The reason for this greater reliance is clear: the population density of cities in Canada is dramatically lower than the US and, as a result, local television is not as widely available. This means that local programming for a given large city is re-broadcast in smaller markets. This re- SEPTEMBER 24, 2001 Page 5 of 9 COMMENTS OF ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. DGTP-004-01 broadcasting places greater demands on the spectrum within the Band for television broadcasting than is the case in the US. In all, according to the DTV Transition Allotment Plan (Issue 2) released by the Department in April 1999, there are at least 80 existing analog assignments and 448 future digital assignments in the Band. See Attachment 1 for a summary of analog assignments and Attachment 2 for a summary of digital assignments in the Band. RCI considers that it would be in the public interest, and would be more sensible, to limit the allotment of the Band in Canada to broadcasting and public safety so that more effective sharing can be achieved, with less disruption to the broadcasting service. To incorporate commercial mobile services in the allotment would lead to greater potential disruption to the broadcast service and could limit the amount of spectrum made available for public safety services. Clearly, in this case, public safety services must take priority over commercial mobile services. In any event, the Department has recently made commercial mobile spectrum available in the 1900 MHz range via the 2001 PCS spectrum auction, and is currently considering the allocation of additional spectrum for advanced mobile voice and high speed data services (commonly called “3G”) in other bands. These and other allocations are supportive of the Department’s efforts to connect Canadians to the knowledge-based economy via the Internet. Therefore, an allocation within the Band for commercial mobile services is unnecessary. SEPTEMBER 24, 2001 Page 6 of 9 COMMENTS OF ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. DGTP-004-01 UNCERTAINTY IN THE US REGARDING COMMERCIAL MOBILE IN THE BAND Despite the fact that the FCC’s band plan has made 36 MHz available for commercial mobile services, the provision of commercial mobile services within the Band in the US is far from certain.

There’s been a little bit of tropo. There’s been a little bit of skip in the south. There’s also been some horrible storms and tornados in places. We hope everyone is okay and stayed out of danger.

  • Up Against the Squeeze: Measures to Help CBC/Radio-Canada Meet Its Mandate
    Up against the squeeze: Measures to help CBC/Radio-Canada meet its mandate Canadian Media Guild Submission in response to BNC CRTC 2011-379-3 October 5, 2012 1. The Canadian Media Guild (CMG) is a union that represents more than 5,000 CBC/Radio-Canada employees and freelancers outside Quebec and the City of Moncton. Our members are on-air hosts and anchors, reporters, videographers, producers, sound and lighting technicians, media librarians, IT and finance specialists, and freelance contributors. As employees on the frontlines, we have a unique perspective on public broadcasting in Canada. 2. We are pleased to participate in this public process and we strongly support the renewal of CBC/Radio-Canada’s broadcast licences. We request to appear at the public hearing in order to comment on any additional information that becomes available by that time. Executive Summary 3. It is impossible to consider the renewal of the CBC1’s broadcast licences without looking at the state of the Canadian broadcast industry and the insecurity of funding that is provided for public interest programming and services. 4. The CBC plays a fundamental role in Canadian broadcasting, in the promotion and development of local and national talent, and in its major contribution to Canada's cultural life. It is the most important cultural engine in the country. As a public broadcaster, ideally the CBC should be funded adequately to fulfill the myriad of programming the Broadcasting Act mandates it to deliver. Unfortunately, this is not the case. To make matters worse, after the recent mergers and acquisitions, the CBC now finds itself squeezed from all sides of an industry that Carleton University Professor Dwayne Winseck points out is highly concentrated by global standards and more than twice as concentrated as in the US2.
