I hadn't heard about this yet but apparently the fee has gone through and is being passed on to cable and sattelite customers every month.
Quote:
The new fee is about 90 cents for a $60 Rogers cable bill and $1 for the average $68 Bell satellite bill. The companies say they're not keeping the cash, only collecting it for the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
The hike represents 1.5% of revenues broadcast distributors are forced to dish out for a new television fund called the Local Programming Improvement Fund.
