CRTC WON’T REGULATE THE INTERNET
OTTAWA-HULL — The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced today that it will not regulate new media services on the Internet.
After conducting an in-depth review under the Broadcasting Act and the Telecommunications Act beginning last July, the CRTC has concluded that the new media on the Internet are achieving the goals of the Broadcasting Act and are vibrant, highly competitive and successful without regulation. The CRTC is concerned that any attempt to regulate Canadian new media might put the industry at a competitive disadvantage in the global marketplace.
"By not regulating, we hope to support the growth of new media services in Canada," says Françoise Bertrand, CRTC Chairperson. "The CRTC is one of the first regulators in the world to clarify its position on the Internet."
