This article argues that a January 2015 speech by former Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) Chairman Jean-Pierre Blais represented a moment of regulatory revelation for digital Canada. In the speech, Blais proclaimed that his Canada included over-the-air (OTA) television, elevating the profile of OTA television delivery, spectrum, and infrastructure in the process. This article discusses the policy implications of the CRTC’s vision of an alternative path for Canada’s television broadcast system. It is a vision that deviates from the subscription-based cable, satellite, and Internet Protocol television modes of delivery in Canada and positions OTA as a viable component of Canada’s television delivery future.Cet article soutient qu’un discours prononcé en janvier 2015 par Jean-Pierre Blais, ancien président du Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des télécommunications canadiennes (CRTC), a été révélateur pour ce qui est de la réglementation du numérique au Canada. En effet, Blais a proclamé dans son discours que son Canada incluait la télévision hertzienne (sur les ondes), élevant ainsi le profil de la diffusion, fréquence et infrastructure hertziennes. Cet article discute les implications réglementaires de cette vision d’une alternative pour le système télévisuel canadien. Cette vision s’écarte de celles qui privilégieraient les modes de diffusion par abonnement que sont la câblodistribution, la diffusion par satellite et la télévision sur protocole internet, conservant la télédiffusion hertzienne parmi les choix disponibles aux téléspectateurs canadiens.

Meta Analyses

Channel zapping delays are inconveniences that are often experienced by the subscribers of Internet protocol television (IPTV). It is a major bottleneck in the IPTV channels switching system that affect the quality of experience of users. Consequently, numerous channels switching approaches to minimize zapping delay in IPTV have been suggested. However, there is little knowledge reported in the literature on the determination of the strength of the evidence presented on the approaches of reducing zapping delay in IPTV, which is the prime purpose of this study. The extraction of the relevant articles was designed following the technique of preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). All the included research articles were searched from the widely used databases of Google Scholar, and Web of Science. All statistical analyses were performed with the aid of the random-effects model implementation in Stata version 15. The overall pooled estimated delay component was presented in forest plots. Overall, thirteen studies were included in the meta-analysis and the overall pooled estimate was 10% (95% CI: 7%, 30%)). Experimental studies have shown that virtual elimination of IPTV zapping delay is possible for a relevant chunk of channel switching requests.

Statistical Indicators

This chapter compares several basic statistical indicators of broadcast (traditional) television viewing and Internet protocol television (IPTV) use in Estonia and show how the structural difference between the two types of television results in different consumption models. The main conclusion is that the structure of the content to a large extent determines the uses of media. Flow-type media (broadcast television) appears to support routine and unconscious media use, while the use of database-like media (Internet television) could be characterised as being more purposeful and conscious. The study opens new perspectives on audience research and might be inspiring for further research and analyses focussing in detail on the use of IPTV.
