Videotron's Cable Telephony Jumpin'
January 5th, 2006 Posted in ILEC News, Analysis, Main Page, VOIP Services, Competition/Skype
Videotron Ltee ended 2005 with an impressive 163,000 cable telephony customers - another sign Bell Canada needs to start taking VoIP more seriously. A key development for Bell - and Videotron, for that matter - will be the CRTC's new regulatory approach to local telephony, which is expected to be unveiled in March. It could give Canadian ILECs such as Bell and Telus Corp. more freedom to compete in the $10-billion local market by deregulating the market completely or, more realistically, giving them some more freedom in markets where there is vibrant competition.

Is the quality of Videotron, Rogers, etc., superior to Skypeout?
Videotron's prices for telephony have increased a bit, and there's no estimate on when it'll be available to my building.
I'll probably get a landline this year. I have a mobile and now use Skype, but Skypeout is not reliable for business calls, at least for me.
