 Northern Telecom..and Tech :: Cogeco Launches Cable Telephony Service
Cogeco Cable has launched its telephony service today in Oakville, Ont. and Burlington, Ont. with prices starting at $44.99 for customers who also use Cogeco's high-speed Internet and cable services.
Cogeco's pricing strategy should please Rogers Communications CEO Ted Rogers because it positions the service as a premium product - meaning Rogers can sell its cable telephony service later this year for $40 to $50 a month, rather than the $15.95 to $30 that Videotron is charging in Montreal.
Cogeco's service, which will be rolled out to most cities served by the company over the next 18 months, includes voice mail, call display, call waiting, visual call waiting, call forwarding, 411, 611 and 911 access, as well as eight hours of back-up power.
