Re: VMedia fights mandatory channel carriage

By looking a vianettv web site, only cable in red zone no blue zone. So unless you team up with sombody in blue zone me no no go Lucy !

Vianet does FTTH and dsl, »fibre.vianet.ca/about/

I've seen the name around in the past. Don't recall much about them though. They are Ontario only.

Vianet.CA and VianetTV are different companies that are unrelated.

This gets confusing, as Vianet.CA is a licensed BDU and offers TV service.

Is it? I didn't notice this when I checked fast earlier. George said VMedia's was an affiliate of Vianettv. I know there is a vianet (ISP) so when I looked up their vianet's TV I got »vianet.tv/

So there's is a vianettv affiliated with Vmedia, and a vianet.tv owned by Vianet.ca (both Ontario).

How about that.

One for the lawyers

lol I thought they were one in the same.

Seems too much like a coincidence to me. You sure Vianet.ca (or vianet.TV) isn't sub'ing this out to Vmedia who in turn is calling it VianetTV?

Maybe George will answer this one. Pretty funny coincidence.

I'm still finding this hard to believe. I mean, it's possible... But...

Check the logo's even

Vianet.CA'a vianet.TV & Vmedia's VianetTV.com

They are practically the same.

I think Vmedia subs out Vianet.ca

Hi everybody, you are right about the similarity, to put it mildly, but it is sheer coincidence, and possible a slipup by regulators who approve corporate names, I don't know, it was before my time. Certainly they are in different markets both geographically and for the most part demographically, but the confusion is becoming irrelevant as we focus all our Canadian activities around the VMedia brand.

TY for clarifying the confusion on my part, George.

Note to George on the logo post above.

I wrote that at like around 8:00-am, before you posted. It only got approved to show now. Safe to ignore it.

But the similarities are indeed funky!

No clue when this post will show, so in case you waste your time replying before this shows, sorry about that

No. They are not. I know the guys at Vianet.CA, and although they do TV they are not related to the other Vianet. I've had this conversation with them.
