Vicky Eatrides
Featured today, in the first extended podcast conversation of her Commission mandate, is Vicky Eatrides, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of the CRTC.
Coming to the job with an impressive toolkit of practicing regulatory law in the private sector, a raft of undeniably key assignments with the Competition Board of Canada, and even skills in enforcing criminal provisions and criminal investigations, Eatrides presents a clear and determined vision of what needs to be done… and the sooner the better.
Join Contributing Editor, Bill Roberts, as together they review Eatrides’ top three “must do” priorities, plus the inherited challenges of bargaining process delay in telecom matters, Mobile Virtual Network Operator policy implementation (cellphone competition), her keen push for greater consumer-friendly internet rivalry, improvements to the CRTC Broadband Fund, the particular needs of Northern Canada, the Commission’s role with the Online News and Online Steaming Acts, anti-scam compliance & enforcement, the Chairperson’s thoughtful prognosis for overall regulatory work in the coming year, and – importantly – what Eatrides personally hopes defines her record and success at the end of this 5-year term.
After her first 400 days on the job as Chairperson and CEO of the CRTC, Eatrides discusses the difficulties facing integration of online services into our broadcast regulatory framework; and what she expects to be material improvements under her watch for Canadian news programming in that broadcasting system.
This includes an important awareness of Indigenous and rural Canadian obligations as well.
And come away with well-articulated insights into Chairperson Vicky Eatrides’ three-pronged focus on promoting competition, modernizing our Canadian broadcasting system, and improving CRTC service to Canadians through such initiatives as greater public input and enhanced transparency.
Listen in now to a crisp, punchy and succinct conversation with Vicky Eatrides, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission!
