CRTC Meeting - You're Invited!

The CRTC will be holding a meeting with "key representatives of industry, academia and government," on March 23 and 24 in Ottawa. The discussion will likely focus on usage-based billing and the convergence of telecommunications and broadcasting.

OpenMedia.ca criticized the meeting, stating that without the watchful eye of the public this invitation-only meeting would likely become "yet another big telecom lobbying bonanza." The CBC picked up the story and a week later the CRTC invited OpenMedia.ca to attend the meeting on behalf of the public.

OpenMedia.ca (a.k.a. @OpenMedia_ca) will be tweeting live from the meeting, and checking for tweets that include #CRTCforum.
