Re: Bell Canada sued by independent dealers
I find Bell so untrustworthy these days that I don't even want to consider them as a potential distributor for my future TV channel. The channel is suppose to be distributed for free to all subscribers, but I'm worried Bell will start charging them through the nose for the channel and keep all the cash. |

You have every reason to be concern. Bell is 3x more expensive than the competitor and Bell's only concern is how deeply she can dig into the pocket book of her subscriber's and how large a bank account she can acquire. Here's one less customer Bell will not be getting money from all in a few short days... |

What category is your future channel?
If its a must carry, they can't charge people to watch it. |

The channel will be called The Canadian Public ®, and will become Canada's first national public access television channel. There are no "must carry" provisions for a Cat. 2 license; I have to negotiate carriage with each and every distributor. |
