It was interesting to analyse what Industry Minister Tony Clement did not say yesterday in a luncheon keynote address at IIC<\/a>\u00a0[press release and backgrounder here<\/a>, speaking notes\u00a0here<\/a>]<\/p>\n

The Minister characterized<\/a> the 33-page address as a “Marathon speech on dig economy and telecoms” but many have reported that there wasn’t a lot of new information.<\/p>\n

For example, Reuters reported<\/a> that:<\/p>\n

Canada will soon start consultations on how to conduct its next auction of radio frequency spectrum while also reviewing foreign investment rules for the telecoms sector, Industry Minister Tony Clement said on Monday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
