It doesn't explain these corrections. It's est for streaming service total $ seems way to high @ more than 2X our est. Nor does it explain why it's est. for Netflix are much higher than what Netflix itself rpts to the SEC in the US. It est. for Apple & Amazon are also v. high.

Nor does the #CMR rpt the equivalent figures for Canadian services such as Bell's Crave, Quebecor's illico or CBC Gem. Not explaining these corrections y-o-y is important b/c last year's inflated figures are the ones reported by the #BTLR & which now inform Bill C10 to revise...

the Broadcasting Act. Inflated figures serve as a kind of threat inflation to motivate specific kinds of policy & regulatory responses.

They also call into question the credibility of #CRTC data & independence when it seems to be putting its thumb on the scale in favour of specific interests & outcomes.

Given the extraordinary power that Bill C10 anticipates for the Commission to sort out the obligations of specific US and int'l streaming services in Canada under the proposed new broadcasting law, these issues are very concerning.

None of which, tho, is to say that there isn't a strong role for new regulatory approaches for streaming audiovisual media services. The point is to get the analysis right and to build these new approaches on the best understanding possible cc @s_guilbeault
