Technology
In Canada, over-the-air television signals are primarily broadcast using the NTSC (analog) and ATSC (digital) formats.
The CRTC set August 31, 2011 as the deadline for full power over-the-air television transmitters broadcasting in 28 mandatory markets to move to digital transmission.
Canada has not announced any further over-the-air digital conversion deadlines. Permits for new analog television transmitters are no longer being granted.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”

“The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times.”

“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
