Well that's encouraging, but just before seeing your post, I was reading an article that Bell is getting called because they have been discounting their own mobile TV while still charging customers out of the bung hole for using the same data to watch Netflix. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

The complaint, from telecom researcher and blogger Ben Klass, argues Bell “discriminates against consumers and competitors” by offering its Bell Mobile TV service for $5 a month, with five gigabytes of video per month included.

If a Bell Mobility customer were to use five gigabytes of video (roughly two high-definition movies, or seven standard-definition movies) through a competing service like Netflix, it would cost them $40 to do so — an 800 per cent markup compared to what it charges for its own service, Klass wrote on his blog.
