Public Notice

Ottawa, 21 October 1993
Public Notice CRTC 1993-145
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO EXEMPTION CRITERIA 2 AND 5 RESPECTING MASTER ANTENNA TELEVISION SYSTEMS
The Commission hereby proposes to amend exemption criteria 2 and 5 respecting Master Antenna Television (MATV) Systems by making the textual additions highlighted below:
CRITERION 2
 The undertaking is not connected by any form or means of transmission, apart from the direct over-the-air reception of conventional broadcast signals or the direct reception of services by satellite, microwave or optical fibre
 a) ...
 b) crossing over or under any public street or highway, except in the case of an undertaking carried on by a condominium corporation, or by a registered cooperative society, all of whose members reside on the land on which the undertaking is situated, or by an educational institution described in 1. (b).
CRITERION 5
 No service received over-the-air or by satellite or microwave or optical fibre transmission is distributed over the undertaking, other than a service that the Commission by regulation, condition of licence, or otherwise has authorized the licensee of a  cable distribution undertaking serving the area within which the undertaking is situated to distribute on its undertaking, whether or not the licensee is actually distributing the service.
The addition of the words "or optical fibre" to criteria 2 and 5 would add optical fibre to the permissible methods of receiving signals by an exempt MATV system. The second amendment, to criterion 2(b), is intended to clarify that, with certain exceptions, MATV undertakings are exempted provided they do not cross (over or under) a public street or highway.
All interested parties wishing to comment on the proposed amendments must send their submissions to the Secretary General, CRTC, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A ON2, by Monday, 22 November 1993.
