Hey Edmonton,

The CRTC will be holding a meeting with "key representatives of industry, academia and government," on March 23 and 24 in Ottawa. The discussion will likely focus on usage-based billing and the convergence of telecommunications and broadcasting.

OpenMedia.ca criticized the meeting, stating that without the watchful eye of the public this invitation-only meeting would likely become "yet another big telecom lobbying bonanza." The CBC picked up the story and a week later the CRTC invited OpenMedia.ca to attend the meeting on behalf of the public.

OpenMedia.ca (a.k.a. @OpenMedia_ca) will be tweeting live from the meeting, and checking for tweets that include #CRTCforum. We want YOU to join the meeting by using Twitter to talk amongst yourselves and with the OpenMedia.ca staffer in attendance!

Hey Glynn,

I'm still laying low right now. I've just started a new job and am
apartment hunting. My own personal homelessness is trumping Open
Internet policies right now. Sorry.
