Re: "necessary" vs. "video service"
Can you share some updated perspective on this for us all as you seem to have your "ear to the ground" in Canada and see whether Canada is a harbinger of potential further progress?

Re: "necessary" vs. "video service"
A Video component is necessary--at the startup I work for , the Daily Outsider, we have a "Broadcast Grid" for instance that features SKy News that vistors can click on demand--what is annoying, though, is the automatic start of the videos on CNN/'etc.

Re: "necessary" vs. "video service"
..this is as such providers have also moved on to a "APP-Demand driven" model. VIacome/CBS (as I believe they're one not withstanding the spin) has CBSN, has its' All Access program--so the Cable providers need to really think long and hard about their own viability--as I write this, I'm evaulating DirectTV Now..and the HD quality is beyond the pale.

Re: "necessary" vs. "video service"
Change and transformation must always be welcome--as long as we have to figure out how to make sure the human element is never, ever forgotten.

Re: "necessary" vs. "video service"
This is a recommendation for Emgerncy Services--because remember when there is an Earthquake or other natural calamities, cell towers are bound to go down-but that's also increasingly changing--AT&T is around $ 10/month..and I anticipate that going down even further.

Re: "necessary" vs. "video service"
As I am making the "Virtual rounds", I thought to revisit the intitiave launched by the previous Government in Canada, @Bayte, DIgital Canada 150--it appears to have been shelved..but this interesting article from 2014 foretold what you reported on to us:
https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/rural-broadband-in-canada-is-about-to-get-worse
I would have thought that the current Government will have more of an affirmation to this end.

Re: "necessary" vs. "video service"
@batye - I think people who live in more rural areas are more likely in general to have landlines. Especially since cell phones aren't quite as reliable in rural areas as they are urban. Smaller internet providers in some cases also require landlines - or at least they used to. I'm not sure about anymore, I've been with Comcast in Denver for far too long.
