In addition to requests for a number of new television channels, the CRTC will also consider two applications for new BDUs at a hearing this summer. Montreal-based ISP Colba.Net Inc has applied for a broadcasting licence to operate a Class 1 terrestrial BDU to serve Montreal Island. Atop Broadband Corp., located in Woodbridge, ON, has asked to operate a Class 1 terrestrial BDU to serve the majority of the greater Toronto area, specifically bounded by the city of Oshawa on the east, the city of Oakville on the south, the city of Orangeville on the west; and the city of East Gwillimbury on the north. The non-appearing hearing is scheduled to begin on July 19.
