This is not different that what goes on the United States as underscored with the debate, for instance, on Net Neutrality and Cable Set Tops--but the march of progress can't be stopped. I trust you agree with this.

Re: Unneccessary channels
It is true they did not adapt--but they are part of a proud legacy of what can be possible. NOt to get too political--from my vantage point--with a new PM, things can be transformational as I see, for instance, As I work away at my startup, you again peaked my interest as I "popped" into the Canadian PM's site and picked this up that is going on right now--interesting happenings about the art of the possible--at the heart of what we deliberate here in TT:

Re: Unneccessary channels
You again peaked my courisoity as I also own a ROKU device. I just checked the ROKU blog as I keep tabs on on-going evolution of ROKU--and although I did not read it in full, over 100 channels available is pretty decent--if one is able to "stream" over Wifi, what is preventing it from being adopted on a more aggressive basis throughout Canada?

Re: Unneccessary channels
What do you by "strange promises"? That does not seem transformational and forward looking from a country that saw the birth of Nortel and Blackberry (I understand what happened to them afterwards). What do you think can change it? What lessons can be learnt in this regard?

@mpouraryan Apple TV and Roku - yes both available - but castrated - Canadian version :(
Amazon Fire TV and stick - no, and Amazon.com not shipping to Canada... butsome Canadians do smuggle in Amazon Fire TV and stick and use fake USA IP... - breaking the rules...

Re: Unneccessary channels
As I wondered about Canada, I am curious about that trend in Canada and your views on whether in fact what's the trend in the United States--is in fact true in Canada. My curiosity was peaked as I just "popped into" Rogers and was shocked to see how Netflix is "bundled in" with Rogers offerings--wonder if you're seeing the same thing as part of the broader trend that was underscored by Verizon's CEO:
