I don't use any of these services except for occassional reading globe and mail and other media or CTV broadcasts but it is currious to see how much integration. I'm sure the average Canadian might feel this effect closer to home.. I think though this is all about bell satalite and content offerings.

CBC? Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location?

That's the crtc's fault not business. I don't know what the big deal is since bce sold off ctv in the first place and is now buying it back. This deal has more to do with getting into mobile platforms with ctv than anything else.
