The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC, (フランス語:Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des télécommunications canadiennes)) is a public organisation in Canada with mandate as a regulatory agency for broadcasting and telecommunications. It was created in 1976 when it took over responsibility for regulating telecommunication carriers. Prior to 1976, it was known as the Canadian Radio and Television Commission, which was established in 1968 by the Parliament of Canada to replace the Board of Broadcast Governors. Its headquarters is located in the Central Building (Édifice central) of Les Terrasses de la Chaudière in Gatineau, Quebec.〔(Contact Us )."

In 1976, jurisdiction over telecommunications services, most of which were then delivered by monopoly common carriers (for example, telephone companies), was transferred to it from the Canadian Transport Commission although the abbreviation CRTC remained the same. On the telecom side, the CRTC originally regulated only privately held common carriers: * B.C. Tel (now part of Telus), in which a U.S. company (GTE) had a substantial stake * Bell Canada, which served much of Ontario and Quebec, and the eastern part of the Northwest Territories (now Nunavut) * telephone operations owned by crown corporation Canadian National Railways in Newfoundland (Terra Nova Tel), the Northwest Territories, Yukon and northern B.C. (the latter three being Northwestel). Other telephone companies, many of which were publicly owned and entirely within a province's borders, were regulated by provincial authorities until court rulings during the 1990s affirmed federal jurisdiction over the sector, which also included some fifty small independent incumbents, most of them in Ontario and Quebec. Notable in this group were: * Newfoundland Telephone * Maritime Telegraph and Telephone * Island Telephone (Island Tel) * New Brunswick Telephone (NBTel) * Manitoba Telephone System (MTS) * SaskTel * Alberta Government Telephones (AGT) * Northern Telephone (Ontario) * Telebec * municipal telephone services in Prince Rupert, Edmonton and Thunder Bay 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
