But they are in good company with folks like Shaw Cable who gouge and screw Canadians every chance they get, using the CRTC regulations to dominate the cable market and now the VOIP market. Its downright criminal, legal but criminal. Its called Monopolizing the marketplace, something Shaw whines about when it talks about the Telcos.
Shaw fingered in CRTC complaint
Thinly-veiled taxes levied by Shaw against Vonage users are falsely inflating prices for those using Internet-based telephone services, charges a complaint a complaint filed with the CRTC.
By charging $10 per month to customers who choose to subscribe to the Vonage VoIP service, Shaw is unfairly trying to push out competition in the voice-over Internet provider (VoIP) service, Vonage spokesman Joe Parent said yesterday.
"We're left to draw the conclusion that this is a tax for not using their VoIP service, which competes with ours," he said.
"They're suggesting that any of their customers who decide to subscribe to a voice service, other than their own, pay an additional $10 fee."
