GATINEAU, Que. - The CRTC is reviewing its policy of allowing unregulated distribution of broadcast media content over the Internet and cellphones.
The federal regulator has taken a hands-off approach to newer types of media distribution, while continuing to regulate radio and television outlets.
However, the CRTC wants to re-examine its current policy, noting that Canadians are spending more time accessing high-quality content over the Internet and mobile devices.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission says interested parties may submit their comments by Dec. 5.
The commission will also hold public hearings, beginning Feb. 17.
