No Sirius (or XM) for Canadians.

The CRTC will not authorize satellite radio in Canada.

I emailed the CRTC to find out what's up and here's the response

12 May 2005

Mr. *****:

Thank you for taking the time to contact the CRTC.

We have received several applications to provide satellite radio in Canada. The following Notice of Public Hearing is the one at which these applications were considered:

http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/broadcast.htm#nph20046

A decision on these has not yet been reached. However, in a speech made April 12, 2005 CRTC Chairman Charles Dalfen said he expected we would issue a decision no later than June 30th. I would suggest you visit our web site on a regular basis to see if a decision has been released. Please use the above link and refresh the page to make sure you have the latest information.

I hope this proves useful.
