TV Service Providers: Canadian Heritage Minister Shelly Glover

Canadian Heritage Minister Shelly Glover: Glover said the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has until April 30 to deliver its report, which is to include steps the agency plans to take toward unbundling TV services, according to CTV. The move is part of a consumer-first strategy outlined in the federal government's recent throne speech. Industry Minister James Moore had already said the government would force TV service providers to stop all-or-nothing packaging by cable and satellite companies and VANCOUVER -- Canadian Heritage Minister Shelly Glover says she has asked the federal broadcast regulator to prepare a report on so-called pick-and-pay television services as a preliminary step toward putting an end to bundling channels into all-or-nothing packages. "We are convinced that this is something that Canadian consumers want," Glover said Thursday in Vancouver. "We want to give them choice and we have indicated very clearly that we will require television channels to be unbundled." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
