The CRTC (The Canadian Radio-television and
Telecommunications Commission) stipulated telecoms to make basic cable TV
package no more than $25/month. That means customers can get a way to receive
cheaper cable TV.
The CRTC's points is to let Canadians
obtain basic TV channels(CBC, CTV etc.) with a low price instead of many
channels they never watch with additional costs.
Most of Canadian telecoms offer skinny TV
packages, including Bell, Rogers and Shaw. The interesting thing is that their
price strategies chase CRTC's $25 tightly.
It will be totally different if you take a
look at CIK Telecom's Skinny Basic package. It's only $19.99, and includes
around 50 well-known channels. Of course, there are lots of additional add-on
channels costing from $7.99 to $19.99 per month.
Except
that, the CRTC's next step is to make cable providers have to make every single
channel available to customers on a pick-and-play model, starting from 1st of
December. I believe Canadian customers may enjoy more affordable price by the
end of 2016.
