"Current broadcasting systems, and to a much greater extent, new digital broadcasting technology and delivery systems currently under development, offer possibilities for a host of new services for the Canadian public. This report examines the trends in new services and the associated enabling technologies, and proposes a number of research projects which the Department of Communications' Broadcast Technology Branch is especially prepared to carry out. One stream of research is aimed at developing and demonstrating two quite different broadcast services, an Advanced Traveller Information System, and a public conferencing/information system called the Canadian Electronic Forum. A second stream of research deals with issues of special concern to broadcaster's which appear to be impeding their creation of new services: how to use new technology for more efficient, less costly video production, how to provide greater interactivity in broadcast services, both in the program content and the broadcast infrastructure, and how to provide conditional access to services in a manner which is acceptable to all parties concerned. The report concludes with a number of recommendations to broadcasters on dealing with technological change and the demand for new services"--Abstract, page i.
