This is an important decision. Consider the alternative, that the CRTC would licence speakers, authors, writers, photographers, downloaders, musicians or bloggers, or “exempt” them from broadcast licencing, on condition, of course, of being good or paying a tax. It is rare that government turns down an opportunity to regulate.
Of note is the concurring opinion of Commissioner Denton, who rips into the Broadcasting Act with a vengeance.
Where is the blogosphere on this? Asleep?
