CRTC Town Hall Meeting Scheduled For nextMEDIA - Monetizing Digital Media

The final day of nextMEDIA - Monetizing Digital Media wraps with a town hall meeting examining a broad range of issues related to the changing face of the Canadian and global media industry. New media consultant Mark Kuznicki of Remarkk! Consulting moderates the session, which includes a discussion between industry panelists and conference delegates. The town hall contributes to Phase Two of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s (CRTC’s) New Media Project Initiative, a study that will help the CRTC determine what actions, if any, it should take to ensure that all media platforms contribute to the objectives of the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Acts.

Industry panelists include:
-  Richard Hardacre, National President, ACTRA
-  Michael Hennessy, Vice-President - Wireless, Broadband and Content Policy, TELUS
-  McLean Mashingaidze-Greaves, CEO, Nimble
-  Pierre Karl Péladeau, President & CEO, Quebecor Media Inc.

A number of issues will be on the agenda at the town hall meeting, including the classification or definition of the different types of new media broadcasting services, and the specific strategies required to foster a healthy Canadian market. Emerging business models and the role of public policy will also be discussed.

The New Media Project Initiative was announced in May 2007 by CRTC Chairman Konrad von Finckenstein as a comprehensive study of the new media environment and its impact on the Canadian broadcasting and telecommunications industries.

This is the second town hall hosted by Achilles Media Ltd. A previous meeting, held this past summer at nextMEDIA: The Future of Digital Content (Banff, Alberta), evoked a lively discussion around issues of net neutrality. Panel members included Amber MacArthur (CITY TV), Kris Krüg, Mark Kuznicki, Matt Thompson and Jason Roks.

nextMEDIA: Monetizing Digital Media - Dates]
-  Tuesday, November 27 - Wednesday, November 28, 2007, 9:00 AM - 5 PM
-  Diesel Playhouse, 56 Blue Jay’s Way, Toronto, ON, Canada
