But our anti-spam law demonstrates the problem with creating legislation in the absence of an overall strategy. The regulations being set up to enforce the still un-proclaimed law are almost certain to inhibit the adoption of digital technologies. The law and the regulations are at odds with red-tape reduction and serve to discourage small business from leveraging cost advantages associated with digital communications.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, we continue to look forward to the release of our overall national digital economy strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At The 2012 Canadian Telecom Summit, Industry Minister Christian Paradis promised that we would see the release of the long awaited, long overdue national digital strategy.
