Yes, I know that this blog has not had a lot of recent additions.
In August, I had a couple distractions (aged 4¼ and 20 months) and with the High Holy days last week and next, I have had other matters top of mind.
Thank you for your patience.
In the meantime, I hope you are following my Twitter stream for items that I have found to be interesting to share.
I have been following a few issues on Twitter:
- Verizon’s launch of 5G and how next generation mobile technologies can provide viable facilities-based competition for residential internet;
- The EU rejecting astroturfing spam campaigns claiming that enforcing copyright represents yet another ‘extinction-level event’ for the internet. A group of Members of European Parliament expressed strong objections to the tactic of overwhelming their offices with emails;
- The policy tension between programs to enhance broadband access versus programs to increase broadband adoption.
As well, I have been looking at a few issues associated with the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislative Review.
In the meantime, Michael and I are starting to look at early planning for The 2019 Canadian Telecom Summit.
These issues and more should lead to some interesting posts over the coming weeks. What else would you like to see?
Our offices will be closed Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday for Yom Kippur. To those observing, let me wish you a meaningful fast.
