I started to wonder if the CRTC should be investigating the impact on the overall communications system: both telecom and broadcasting.<\/p>\n<p>Comments are sought on the following points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the capabilities of measurement and analytical tools to enable a better understanding of [over-the-top (&#8220;OTT&#8221;)] programming trends over time;<\/li>\n<li>trends in consumer behavior, including the current and projected consumption of programming in the next five years, including Canadian and non-Canadian programming;<\/li>\n<li>technological trends in consumer devices and network capabilities that will influence the development of OTT programming;<\/li>\n<li>the possibility that, in the near term, OTT services may cause replacement or reductions in BDU subscriptions;<\/li>\n<li>the opportunities and challenges for the Canadian creative industries associated with OTT services;<\/li>\n<li>the impact that OTT services might have on the acquisition and exhibition of programming available to Canadians;<\/li>\n<li>the impact of the growth of OTT services on consumers;<\/li>\n<li>any additional issues or evidence relevant to the contribution of OTT programming services to the achievement of the policy objectives of the Broadcasting Act.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The second last point, examining the impact on consumers, might be broadly interpreted, opening the consultation to include a wide range of issues.
