* Satellite radio: In June 2005, the CRTC outraged some Canadian cultural nationalists ( such as the Friends of Canadian Broadcasting ) and labour unions by licencing two companies, Canadian Satellite Radio and Sirius Canada to offer satellite radio services in Canada.

S. receivers were already flooding into the country, so that enforcing a ban on these receivers would be nearly impossible ( see below ).

Supporters of the decision argue that satellite radio can only be feasibly set up as a continental system, and trying to impose 35 % Canadian content across North America is quite unrealistic.

They also argue that satellite radio will boost Canadian culture by giving vital exposure to independent artists, instead of concentrating just on the country's stars, and point to the CRTC's successful extraction of promises to program 10 % Canadian content on satellite services already operational in the United States as important concessions.
