Cartt.ca - The Podcast A Momentum Podcast

Cartt.ca | The Podcast - Featured today, in the first extended podcast conversation of her Commission mandate, is Vicky Eatrides, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of the CRTC.

Coming to the job with an impressive toolkit of practicing regulatory law in the private sector, a raft of undeniably key assignments with the Competition Board of Canada, and even skills in enforcing criminal provisions and criminal investigations, Eatrides presents a clear and determined vision of what needs to be done… and the sooner the better.

Join Contributing Editor, Bill Roberts, as together they review Eatrides’ top three “must do” priorities, plus the inherited challenges of bargaining process delay in telecom matters, Mobile Virtual Network Operator policy implementation (cellphone competition), her keen push for greater consumer-friendly internet rivalry, improvements to the CRTC Broadband Fund, the particular needs of Northern Canada, the Commission’s role with the Online News and Online Steaming Acts, anti-scam compliance & enforcement, the Chairperson’s thoughtful prognosis for overall regulatory work in the coming year, and - importantly - what Eatrides personally hopes defines her record and success at the end of this 5-year term.

First there was TV itself, then colour TV, then our HDTV… but now there’s “NextGen TV" -- the next major shift in television with a new digital format promising 4K video, immersive audio, and a host of other consumer and business benefits.
