The CRTC has released "Navigating Convergence II: Charting Canadian Communications Change and Regulatory Implications", a compilation of independent research and views obtained from CRTC stakeholders, including consumers, public-interest advocates and members of the broadcasting and telecommunications sectors. The first edition of the report was published in February 2010.
According to the report:
- Canadians are increasingly adopting mobile devices that can connect to the Internet and deliver content, information and social media services.
- Between 2010 and 2014, the number of wireless subscribers is expected to rise from 25.8 million to nearly 30 million, with half of them owning a smartphone.
- At the same time, mobile Internet subscriptions in Canada are predicted to increase significantly from 5.5 million in 2011 to 14 million in 2015.
Consider the implications for desktop applications in view of this huge shift in the way the internet will be accessed.
