Bill C-11 committee  It would have been the right relating to the performance.

Bill C-11 committee  I'm sorry, I don't know it off the top of my head. But I can get back to you on that.

Bill C-11 committee  I'd have to verify it to be fair.

Bill C-11 committee  Sorry to cut you off, honourable member. As a point to add, we are still successful with talk radio programming.

Bill C-11 committee  What I can tell you right now—because I don't have those numbers with me, and I wasn't expecting to address Bell as a whole—is that in the Ottawa area Bell is the largest private sector employer.

Bill C-11 committee  It certainly puts the ISPs in that role, but the problem is that notice and take-down isn't effective against peer-to-peer file-sharing. We want to use notice-and-notice to target individuals and to pass along messages. Even if the wrong individuals are getting the messages, we s

Bill C-11 committee  I can add in to that, though, that it would be very little if we're not playing music.

Bill C-11 committee  The Copyright Board establishes the royalties. They've established that the rate will grow, and it has grown, and it has tripled. As far as we know, the repertoires haven't actually changed in size at all. I don't feel qualified to speak about your repertoires. Our understanding

User demand includes having faster speeds, having more access. Nobody wants to wait three hours to watch the movie they have downloaded f

Bill C-11 committee  Netflix, I would have to assume, would be legal.

Bill C-11 committee  Thank you. Here's the thing. Notice-and-notice is a service. It's nothing more and nothing less than a notice service, much like a courier, much like the mailman. We're passing along messages, and to preserve our neutrality we're happy to do so. That is something we agreed to do

Bill C-11 committee  Yes, there are immense challenges. Bell has not yet fully automated its process and we are receiving at least a million notices a year. On top of that, we have to handle wireless. If we think about what takes place on an open Wi-Fi network, your smartphone, or your tablet, and ab

Bill C-11 committee  Basically, what happens for us as a company is that we need to figure out how we can identify who is doing what on our network. That's a process, and then we have to figure out how we're going to build systems that are going to effectively pass notices along. It's a large project
