Canadian institutions and the global net
A Canadian judge and the national telecommunications regulatory agency are struggling with the global nature of networked media. According to Mark Glaser, the CRTC has ruled against allowing Canadian companies streaming US content; apparently the national border trumps cyberspatial file transmission. At the same time, a Vancouver judge argues that media broadcasts of trial-related information from outside his court's region could distort a jury's action. (Is one response to forbid juries net access?)
