Changing Channels: Confessions of a Canadian Communications Lawyer de Peter S. Grant

Changing Channels: Confessions of a Canadian Communications Lawyer

Autor Peter S. Grant
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 oct 2013

Renowned advocate and legal trailblazer Peter S. Grant has acted for and against virtually all of the major players in the Canadian broadcast and telecommunications industry. His r?sum? features stints as a rapporteur for UNESCO, Special Counsel for the CRTC, Broadcasting Arbitrator for Canada's political parties, and advocate for the underdog in the David-and-Goliath struggle to expand Canada's culture industries.

In his sweeping memoir, "Changing Channels: Confessions of a Canadian Communications Lawyer," Grant affords readers an insider's glimpse into some of the biggest changes in the history of Canadian communications policy. Interspersed with fond recollections of his hometown of Kapuskasing and anecdotes of his growing family, Grant provides an eye-opening account of the Canadian communications industries. He documents his role in regulating the telecom carriers, increasing competition among service providers, and acting for dozens of broadcast programming services in front of the CRTC.

Grant's reasoned prose highlights his far-reaching expertise in all areas of communications law and cultural policy, and makes his story compelling to anyone who has picked up a phone or turned on a television set."
