Summary:
"The technology, institutional players, and the policies that have shaped Canada's switch from analogue to digital television broadcasting. How digital television is part of a global media movement. It is about more than television - the digital transition is also a precursor for new developments in mobile digital media. The wireless spectrum freed by the move to digital television is a multi-billion dollar public resource, whose auction is impending. How digital broadcasting has been the site of dramatic change in the political economy of Canadian media, and the market-driven process through which the still incomplete transition has unfolded. Issues such as equal access and television as a public good, highlighting public and institutional actors in the policy process to provide an analysis of government and industry. A timely assessment of a period of technological and economic upheaval in Canadian broadcasting"--Provided by publisher.
