The final chapter of a three-year battle on Internet retransmission of over-the-air television signals appears headed for a close with the withdrawal on February 17 of Aliant Telecom Inc.’s application to the CRTC for an experimental licence. As signs point to Bill C-11 finally coming into force by the end of March, the regulatory environment put to the test by IcraveTV.com Inc. (CNM, Dec. 23/99) and JumpTV.com Canada Inc. (CNM, Sept. 20/00) is apparently now on a straight and narrow path.
