The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has demanded that cable and satellite service providers offer a slimmed-down package for $25 or less by March 1, with a range of pick-and-pay channels to top it up.
Can't wait to binge on the latest season of Ontario Legislative Assembly? Desperate to get your fix of V, replete with francophone dramas and reality shows?
Never so much as raised an antenna to these channels? Bell Media might be thinking otherwise.
So the parasites at CRTC pretend to crack down, and the hogs at Bell comply. "We're a fine bunch of lads, so let's all get along and fix things...Wink, wink."
ReplyDeleteWhat is really needed of course is to open up the gates to American satellite competition like Direct TV. You'd see Bell get competitive pretty quickly. But that's not how the game is played here in Canuckistan - doesn't matter if we're talking milk, TV, Beer and Liquor, or energy. The Ivory Tower Trash will keep it among themselves.
