Internet Service Providers Report

Objectives

The objective of the report is to provide an analysis of the economic impact of the current voluntary "notice and notice" (NN) copyright infringement regime followed by Canadian Internet Service Providers. This report will make an explicit distinction as to this impact on large and small ISPs, where the size of the ISP is determined by the number of subscribers. The drivers of the cost of NN, including the volume of notices received and the economic costs of processing notices, will be examined.
