As many of our subscribers know, an important process has been underway before the CRTC, concerning the framework for wholesale access to internet services. It is this framework which, through regulations and tariffs enforced by the CRTC, allows companies like VMedia to be able to acquire bandwidth from the incumbents telcos like Rogers and Bell, and offer internet services to our subscribers. Part of the cost of acquiring that bandwidth relates to usage, and is commonly known as capacity based billing (CBB). This process is not gotten the attention of the public in the same way the usage based billing issue did, but it is at least as important now as ever, especially if Canadians want choice and fair pricing in BOTH internet and TV services. The climbing cost of CBB as usage grows is inexorable, and the trend reflects a very difficult future for ISPs and their ability to provide competitively priced services if it is not reversed through the introduction of fair pricing, arrived at through a transparent process. VMedia has taken a position on this important issue. If you would like to learn more please go here: vmedia.ca/blog/vmedia-fair-internet-pricing/
