If I am paying for my Satellite subscription monthly, how come, I am limited to where I can and cannot watch TV? Isn't that absurd? Well, apparently, there are some satellite providers out there who make that decision for us. Whether we like it or not. This means, we don't have a freedom of choice, as we are suppose. However, there are still people out there, thousand of them, who still get away by watching Satellite wherever, they please.
So, the question is this? Are they violating a law? And if they are, who made that law? According to the CRTC, this is the Canadian Standard of Communications, such practice is perfectly fine, since, they don't control the airways. On the contrary, if you were to ask, the biggest satellite provider in Canada, they mention, such practices are violating a Canadian law. So, who to believe? Especially, when there is another satellite provider competitor, who mentions that going across the border is perfectly fine.
Now, for those of you who live in the U.S.A, the same problem applies to you. If you don't think so, make a quick test. Phone your Satellite provider and tell them you are going to take your Satellite system to Canada or Mexico. Just pay attention what they are going to say to you. Same law applies to Americans. So, what force out there, is controlling the airways? Obviously, it is your country satellite provider. What are they scare about it? Well, one assumption is that, they want to keep the American market separate from the Canadian one. There is a believe that, if U.S. providers come to Canada, the Canadian companies, could lose a big chuck of their market. And, on the same token, the Americans are afraid of that so. Still, they forget that we, as consumers have the freedom to choose what, when and more important, WHERE, we want to watch. Otherwise, there is no democracy and freedom of choice. What do you think?
