Well on the surface level this seems like great news for the consumer, I remain skeptical of how this will materialize on our bills.
It was just about a year ago that the CRTC "allowed" unbundling of TV channels, for the first time. How's everyone's cable bill looking this month? Still paying for channels you never watch?
Given the history of the telcos in this country I have little faith in this working out in the consumers best interest, or even saving us any money. I'm sure Bell/Rogers/Telus will find a creative way to roll those extra 12 months of billing into a CRTC Actualization Credit Payment or something equally as smarmy sounding on our bills.
While this quote from the article isn't exactly a glowing thing it means that the effects of it haven't happened yet.
