t's the first decision to come out of the regulator's Let's Talk TV hearings, which was considering whether to allow some major changes to the way television is delivered to Canadians.
The CRTC says it will require cable companies to adhere to the new rule by Jan. 23. The regulator also says the same rule will apply to switching internet providers or phone services.
The CRTC previously implemented a similar rule for cellphone contracts when it rolled out Canada's wireless code last December.
Not that far off and sure most can wait until it goes into effect. PROGRESS when most think the CRTC hates consumers and now they are on the consumers side, or at least partly. Being fully onside will depend on their future rulings from the Talk TV Hearings. I'm hoping the big companies haven't swayed them in the rest of their decisions, because all that came out of the hearings was a lot of fear mongering and threats from the companies. I just wonder if the companies will find other ways to stick it to us with this and future decisions, because they will lose millions with this one.
