  • An Introduction to Telecommunications Policy in Canada
    Australian Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy An Introduction to Telecommunications Policy in Canada Catherine Middleton Ryerson University Abstract: This paper provides an introduction to telecommunications policy in Canada, outlining the regulatory and legislative environment governing the provision of telecommunications services in the country and describing basic characteristics of its retail telecommunications services market. It was written in 2017 as one in a series of papers describing international telecommunications policies and markets published in the Australian Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy in 2016 and 2017. Drawing primarily from regulatory and policy documents, the discussion focuses on broad trends, central policy objectives and major players involved in building and operating Canada’s telecommunications infrastructure. The paper is descriptive rather than evaluative, and does not offer an exhaustive discussion of all telecommunications policy issues, markets and providers in Canada. Keywords: Policy; Telecommunications; Canada Introduction In 2017, Canada’s population was estimated to be above 36.5 million people (Statistics Canada, 2017). Although Canada has a large land mass and low population density, more than 80% of Canadiansi live in urban areas, the majority in close proximity to the border with the United States (Central Intelligence Agency, 2017). Telecommunications services are easily accessible for most, but not all, Canadians. Those in lower-income brackets and/or living in rural and remote areas are less likely to subscribe to telecommunications services than people in urban areas or with higher incomes, and high-quality mobile and Internet services are simply not available in some parts of the country (CRTC, 2017a). On average, Canadian households spend more than $200 (CAD)ii per month to access mobile phone, Internet, television and landline phone services (2015 data, cited in CRTC, 2017a).

  • Leading Operators KDDI Corporation, NTT DOCOMO, INC. and Softbank Corp
    Leading Operators KDDI Corporation, NTT DOCOMO, INC. and SoftBank Corp. Launch RCS Messaging Across Japan; RCS Gaining Global Momentum with Multiple Launches LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The GSMA today announced that Japanese mobile operators KDDI Corporation, NTT DOCOMO, INC. and SoftBank Corp. have launched Rich Communications Services (RCS) based on the GSMA’s specifications. The service, which is called ‘+ message’, is an upgrade to SMS and is available today to customers on smartphones and tablets, enabling them to enjoy enhanced messaging features such as chat, group chat, video, gifs, file and location sharing, amongst others. All three operators plan to transition to the GSMA’s Universal Profile specification in the future. “This is positive news for Japanese mobile subscribers who will be able to upgrade to enhanced messaging services as well as for the continued global adoption of RCS around the world,” said Alex Sinclair, Chief Technology Officer, GSMA. “RCS is poised for explosive growth this year with more and more operators launching the service, with many interconnecting their networks and numerous brands trialling RCS Business Messaging and we look forward to seeing this continuing over the coming months.” All three operators are planning to launch RCS Business Messaging in the future. RCS Business Messaging enables consumers to engage directly with multiple brands from a single messaging platform, allowing them to make restaurant reservations, book train tickets or retail purchases without having to juggle numerous apps. Several global brands are already trialling it to improve the customer experience and enable consumers to communicate with brands in a more engaging and direct manner.

SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. Nancy A. Ory Paul A. Cicelski Laura M. Berman Lerman Senter PLLC 2001 L Street NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC 20036 Tel. (202) 429-8970 April 19, 2017 Their Attorneys -ii- SUMMARY In this Petition, WSBS Licensing, Inc. and its parent company Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (“SBS”) seek modification of the television market of WSBS-TV, Key West, Florida (the “Station”), to reinstate 41 communities (the “Communities”) located in the Miami- Ft. Lauderdale Designated Market Area (the “Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA” or the “DMA”) that were previously deleted from the Station’s television market by virtue of a series of market modification decisions released in 1996 and 1997. SBS seeks recognition that the Communities located in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties form an integral part of WSBS-TV’s natural market. The elimination of the Communities prior to SBS’s ownership of the Station cannot diminish WSBS-TV’s longstanding service to the Communities, to which WSBS-TV provides significant locally-produced news and public affairs programming targeted to residents of the Communities, and where the Station has developed many substantial advertising relationships with local businesses throughout the Communities within the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA. Cable operators have obviously long recognized that a clear nexus exists between the Communities and WSBS-TV’s programming because they have been voluntarily carrying WSBS-TV continuously for at least a decade and continue to carry the Station today.

Owned by Bell Media's subsidiary BCE Inc., it operates as a de facto owned and operated station of its secondary television system CTV 2. The channel was launched as the Atlantic Satellite Network (or ASN) in 1983. The Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) defines it as a satellite and cable television programming enterprise, defined as a local television channel available in the region on mainstream cable television, and is currently available throughout Canada on many digital cable and satellite television systems, but without any terrestrial transmitters (similarly a small number of other channels, mostly educational broadcasters). The channel does not seem to have the mandatory cable transportation rights, although almost all cable systems in the region offer it. However, it has full rights to simultaneous replacements in the Atlantic provinces, while most non-broadcasters do not.

However, at Rogers, our strategy is built to embrace this change. During 2000, as convergence continued to define the future, we continued to define convergence. Our Cable business solidified its position as the distribution means of choice for digital entertainment and high-speed Internet access. At Rogers™ AT&T® Wireless, we committed to new GSM/GPRS technology that will soon enable our national networks to transmit vast quantities of data using the leading interna- tional standard. And our Media group profited from its commanding position as a major Canadian content supplier. In all our markets, competition is intense. As our financial results show, we are investing aggressively to secure our long-term competitive position while producing stable results. Propelled by strong top-line growth at all operat- ing companies, overall revenues for Rogers increased during 2000 by 12.8% from $3,107.8 million to $3,504.2 million. Operating income before depreciation and amor- tization was $917.7 million, an increase of 2.7% from $893.8 million in 1999. Importantly, in a year when investments in capital expenditures were $1.2 billion, primarily for cable and wireless upgrades, we managed to maintain our long term debt-to-EBITDA ratio at approximately 4:1.
