In 1996, section 10 of the Radiocommunication Regulations, made pursuant to the Radiocommunication Act, established the requirement that a radiocommunications common carrier(a telecommunications common carrier using a wireless rather than a wireline telephone network) must meet Canadian ownership and control requirements that are virtually identical to those of the Telecommunications Act and associated regulations to be eligible to receive a radio licence in Canada. 1, record 1, English, - radiocommunications%20common%20carrier

Combining Marconi software and Compaq's carrier-grade platforms, televoting delivers a robust and reliable voting or polling capability over a wireless or wireline telecom network. Televoting allows an organization(e. g. television or radio station) to stage a call-in voting event. For the carrier, this solution will increase network usage and increase revenue through the introduction of the voting service. 1, record 2, English, - televoting

Le télévote est un service proposé à toutes les entreprises souhaitant simplifier l'organisation des élections des représentants du personnel (élections des comités d'entreprise, des délégués du personnel, etc.) Le vote aux différentes élections (jusqu'à 4 successives) s'effectue par téléphone sur un numéro d'appel gratuit (Numéro Vert). Le télévote respecte bien entendu toutes les règles appliquées dans le cadre d'élections légales : anonymat du vote, confidentialité, sécurité et fiabilité du scrutin. En outre, les procédures mises en œuvre ont été vérifiées par la Commission Nationale Informatique et Libertés (CNIL), dès l'origine (1997). 1, record 2, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9vote
