About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Ontario Bets Big: May Sees Record-Breaking Spending in iGaming Sector

--News Direct--

While Ontario's provincial budget for 2025-26, "A Plan to Protect Ontario," outlines a massive $232.5 billion in overall expenditures, a significant and noteworthy portion of the province's economic activity in May was driven by a different kind of spending: record-breaking engagement in its regulated iGaming market.

May 2025 marked an unprecedented surge in online gambling within the province, with gross gaming revenue (GGR) from iGaming activities reaching a new monthly record of CA338.0million(approximatelyUS247.0 million). This figure not only surpassed Ontario's previous monthly high of $328.5 million (set in January of this year) by a notable 2.9% but also demonstrated a robust 40.3% increase compared to May of last year and an 8.0% rise from April 2025.

This remarkable growth wasn't just in revenue. Total player wagering across all iGaming platforms during May also hit an all-time high, breaking the CA8billion mark for the first time, reaching CA8.07 billion. This represents a 3.5% month-on-month increase and a significant 28.9% year-on-year jump.

A Deeper Dive into the Gambling Boom:

The data from iGaming Ontario (iGO), the provincial regulator, reveals the driving forces behind this spending spree:

  • Online Casino Dominance: Some of the best online casinos in Canada continued to be the primary engine of the iGaming market, accounting for the lion's share of revenue. In May, online casino activity alone generated CA$259.8 million, a substantial 45.3% increase year-on-year, representing 77% of all iGaming revenue in the province. Player spending on internet casino games also saw a healthy rise, reaching CA$6.96 billion, up 30.9% from the previous year.

  • Strong Sports Betting Performance: Sports betting also contributed significantly, bringing in CA$71.8 million in revenue, a 26.3% increase year-on-year, and holding a 21% market share. Wagering on internet sports betting climbed 18.5% to CA$972.0 million.

  • Steady Online Poker: While a smaller segment, internet poker revenue was up 18.9% to CA$6.3 million, with players spending CA$129.0 million.

  • Active Player Accounts: Despite the revenue and spending records, the number of monthly active player accounts saw a slight dip of 2.0% year-on-year, settling at 1.07 million. However, this was offset by a notable 10.0% increase in average revenue per active player account (ARPPA), which reached CA$316. This suggests that while there may have been a slight reduction in the sheer number of active players, those who were engaged were spending more.

As of June 25, Ontario's regulated iGaming market boasts 50 licensed operators running 86 websites, demonstrating a robust and competitive landscape. The success of this regulated environment is evident, with the province's iGaming revenue now significantly outpacing that of other Canadian provinces.

This record-setting performance in May underscores the growing consumer appetite for online gambling in Ontario and highlights the effectiveness of the province's regulated market in drawing significant revenue. As the province continues to navigate its broader fiscal landscape, the thriving iGaming sector is clearly a significant and expanding contributor to its economic activity.
