GATINEAU, Que. — The CRTC is reviewing its policy of allowing unregulated distribution of broadcast media content over the Internet and cellphones.

The federal regulator has taken a hands-off approach to newer types of media distribution, while continuing to regulate radio and television outlets.

However, the CRTC wants to re-examine its current policy, noting that Canadians are spending more time accessing high-quality content over the Internet and mobile devices.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission says interested parties may submit their comments by Dec. 5.

The commission will also hold public hearings, beginning Feb. 17.

If there weren't so many people who hide their faces when committing violent acts then we wouldn't need a law forbidding masks. Unfortunately this is our society now. No one can hide their faces... we aren't special over here, violence has arrived and it is here to stay. Let's not kid ourselves. Violence just escalates to new levels. We've let this "hiding the faces" scenario go on far too long.
