Most of the reports on yesterday’s Federal Court of Appeal decision<\/a> have talked about how the court decided that ISP do not have the burdens of being regulated under the Broadcast Act,\u00a0\u00a0although the caveat in Paragraph 59 of the Decision says:<\/p>\n

that this conclusion is based on the content-neutral role of ISPs and would have to be reassessed if this role should change<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wonder if there is a corollary. I wonder if this Court decision creates an incentive for companies that are currently regulated as BDUs to rearrange themselves to look more like ISPs. There are a number of IPTV BDUs that are already delivering their service over internet technology. At what point does a remote control become a keyboard, a set-top box become a PC (many are already running Microsoft software), a screen is a screen, regardless of size or resolution.<\/p>\n

Why is my ISP, providing access to the linear programming of CPAC.ca different from my cable company delivering that same content on Channel 97?<\/p>\n

The next question of course is what are the characteristics that make a streaming video website different from a broadcaster? Many broadcasters deliver their signals directly to BDUs using fibre – no transmitter towers, no spectrum?<\/p>\n

The corollaries and potential extensions\u00a0to the Federal Court of Appeal decision could make the best argument for the need for Parliament to revisit the Broadcast Act in today’s IP world.<\/p>\n

The future of financial support for Canadian content development were at stake when the CRTC asked the Court to examine the issue. The implications of the ruling could cause the current funding\u00a0mechanisms to collapse even faster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
