I can't believe it lasted as long as it did. "Bell Home Monitoring & Security" & "Bell video store", are there other Bell projects which have failed?
The sad reality I suspect Bell will claim that "excessive traffic" was the reason why the pulled the plug, and that they had no choice but to 'manage' their network and kill it.
In a time when Amazon and other digital media providers started to offer non DRM products, Bell does the opposite and offers ONLY DRM downloads. With their store gone, how will it affect the DRM media files of which customers paid for? |

The problem with Bell is that it's the rabid dog that nobody has the courage to deal with.
And by this I mean no disrespect to rabid dogs everywhere.

| Courage is one thing, but Bell has a rather large, well funded legal team, as well as people-puppets like IEDM’s Marcel Boyer giving them support; politicians tend to gravitate towards money. Remember we have a duopoly of telecommunication companies, and Rogers has already capped and throttled their customers. The CRTC has ruled that Bell may do the same.
If Bell's proposed UBB system goes through Canadians might as invest in soup cans and string, because Rogers will soon implement the same thing.  |
