The Canadian contribution and data set prepared as part of the Global Media and Internet Concentration (GMIC) project offers an independent academic, empirical and data-driven analysis of a deceptively simple yet profoundly important question: have telecom, media and internet markets become more concentrated over time, or less? Media Ownership and Concentration is presented from more than a dozen sectors of the telecom-media-internet industries, including film, music and book industries. Note: The Master GMICP Workbook was revised to remove instances where App Store and advertising revenue for Advertising-based Video-on-Demand (AVOD) services delivered over the Internet had been double counted in the original data set released through Dataverse. The text of the report was also revised to reflect these corrections.

Media Ownership and Concentration is presented from more than a dozen sectors of the telecom-media-internet industries, including film, music and book industries. Note (22/01/2024): Small editorial changes were made throughout the report to clean up and improve the text. Small revisions to the estimates of the internet advertising revenue for some Canadian firms were also made to reflect newly available data. Those revisions were small and have no consequences for the analysis. Figures 1, 23, 25, 37, 40 and 41 were revised to reflect these changes.
