The lines do not stay still, i.e. what is "the public interest"?.

Some say CANCON is in the "public interest". Some say it is not.
Some say the CTRC serves the "public interest". Some say it does not.

"And the lines don't stay still."
- witness the debates (some pre-CTRC) about magnetic tape, reel-to-reel 
& cassette
- witness the debates about CDROM & digital media/copying
- witness the debates about Writable-CDROM & digital media/copying
- witness the debates (continuing) about content in MP3 and other 
digital formats and digital media/copying

On a similar vein, until recently I commuted between the 519 and 905 
with the terminus near YYZ.
And I listened to talk radio on AM stations located in Kitchener and 
Toronto.
Over the past number of years all of these stations have been making 
changes in their programming.
These changes include modifying their format, been changing hosts, 
running repeat shows, etc.
Recently two talk radio hosts lost their jobs on a local AM station 
owned by Rogers as a result of these changes.
CNN, too, has been changing its format, moving from "news" to 
"entertainment".
Presumably, these changes came about due to business decisions driven by 
revenue, costs and shrinking/changing audiences and shrinking 
advertising income.
