| [ TV] No Olympic Channels for Bell Entertainment Customers Hello all,
Today I called into BES to ask when/if the channels on described in the link below would appear on my program guide :
»www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpPromo···_BRS_ENG
The representative confirmed that BES customers would NOT be receiving these channels.
I was told it was a CRTC licensing issue. I doubt this is the complete story however as when I pressed him on this he said that basically they didn't want to spend the money on making this happen as they only have a small customer base - he claimed only 2000 clients, but this count seems low to me.
I told him that Bell was missing a golden opportunity to paint itself as a technology innovator by highlighting the new capabilities of their new cutting edge IPTV service during the Olympics - the premier sporting event in the world. I also said it was particularily embarrassing considering the Olympics are in Canada.
Anyway - I'm not really surprised... it is Bell we're talking about after all.

1 edit | If this is true and Bell being one of the sponsor's for the Canadian Olympic team this is very sad indeed. |
