February 2, 2003 - CRTC Hearing

Copyright Board Hearing Room 56 Sparks St., Ottawa	It is Sunday, February 2, 2003. I have finished my personal testimony before the Board in Ottawa on Friday, January 31, 2003. The statement of case document and my PowerPoint presentation with notes, (and original ppt file) both submitted as formal evidence to the board, are presented here. I'll also post versions of the other evidentiary items I have sent to the board as soon as I can.
I have to say that the presentation went well, although was a bit rushed for time. I was scheduled to start at 2PM on the Friday afternoon but due to continued questioning of the previous witness, didn't get started until about 2:40 or so.	Tom Trottier

From comments by others in the hearing, there are points that I made that are both new and "interesting" and at least one (the comparison of levy amounts with other Act mandated tariffs such as the $100/year for a community broadcast license) that raised the chair's eyebrows and elicited a "that's interesting" comment.
