Not really. It'll play out exactly like the CRTC ruling against 3 year contracts went.
The cable/sat companies will give a big FU to both the CRTC and customers. The small fraction of people who only want basic cable will get their $25 package, and the loss of revenue between that and people cutting cable will be paid by the customers who only want HBO or TSN.
I would be absolutely shocked if a customer would actually be able to get a basic package with SN/TSN (or HBO) for significantly less than the package with that costs now. And it wouldn't surprise me at all if that selection actually costs more than the package does now.
