Public Notice CRTC 1997-18
|

PROCESS FOR RECONSIDERATION OF DECISIONS CRTC 96-630 AND CRTC 96-631 DATED 11 SEPTEMBER 1996
|
|
By Order in Council P.C. 1996-1896 dated 10 December 1996 (the Order), the Governor in Council referred back to the Commission, for reconsideration and hearing, two decisions in which the Commission approved the following applications, granting both applicants the right to provide cable service to the same area.
|
|
· Licence to carry on a new cable distribution undertaking - C.K.O. Cablevision Limited - St-Alphonse, Mavillette, Salmon River, Beaver River and Lake Doucette, Nova Scotia - 952409100 (Decision CRTC 96-630)
|
|
· Change to authorized service area - Viking Cable T.V. Limited - Yarmouth and surrounding area, Nova Scotia -199605771 (Decision CRTC 96-631).
|
|
The Order states:
|
|
The Governor in Council is of the opinion that it is material to the reconsideration and hearing that the Commission fully assess the issue of whether in certain circumstances, such as an extremely small market with a low population density, the possible negative impacts of licensing more than one distribution undertaking to serve an area would outweigh the benefits.
|
|
