www.thesuburban.com<\/a><\/p>\nThe Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunication Commission (CRTC) gave the green light, Feb. 19, to let Securenet launch a new high-definition television service from Sault Ste. Marie to Rivi\u00e8re du Loup. The CRTC approved the small local company\u2019s bid to deliver more than 150 television channels along the lines that it already uses to provide phone and Internet service. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey gave me everything that I wanted,\u201d enthused Securenet president Jean-Marc Vandette, who said that the CRTC decision promises to revolutionize his small company. \u201cThey didn\u2019t restrict me on anything.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cI will be keelhauling the company from one end to the other, to reorganize for this new service,\u201d he told The Suburban.<\/i> \u201cWe have been working hard on the proposal since 2009.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re two-to-three months away from bringing our service to the market,\u201d Vandette said in an interview. \u201cWe aim to make it all seamless at the customer end. Something that you can pick up, drop into place and\u2014boom\u2014it\u2019s up and running.\u201d <\/p>\n
Although all of the channels will be transmitted in high-definition format, Vandette said that his new service will be compatible with older television sets. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re still using Old Faithful, the set-top box will be compatible with standard definition and regular analogue television,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen the old set dies, you can just take it and plug it into your new tv et voil\u00e0, off it goes!\u201d <\/p>\n
The whole world is watching<\/b><\/p>\n
In addition to his plans to carry networks like Shaw, TV5, TVA, City, Astral, Super\u00e9cran and Teletunes\u2019 ethnic channel, Vandette is looking forward to the prospect of carrying specialty channels from Poland, Spain and Greece.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are also looking at carrying Arabic channels out of Morocco and Lebanon he said, \u201cas well as Italian channels from Corus such as Telelatino. We are working with members of the Arabic community to put together for them a package with phone and Internet.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cBasically we have a target around $39\/month for regional and certain specialty channels,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will fit in as much as we can into that television service for our customers, and offer to bundle it with their Internet and home phone service, but as a smaller carrier, the most important thing that we will be offering is good quality and good service.\u201d
