		From the Globe yesterday, some bizarre statements from Videotron on how to finance the bandwidth build-out that will be needed if it’s to profit from IPTV, VoIP and the rest: impose a tariff on the content providers, who are getting a free ride, it seems:
		Videotron boss Robert Depatie wants the federal government to slap a transmission tariff on providers Ã¢â¬â like the music and film industry Ã¢â¬â so they can shoulder part of the burden.
		My perspective is that it would be equally logical for content providers to try to charge Videotron for the priviledge of allowing Videotron customers to access their content.

		Videotron shareholders were to vote on the Rogers offer in Montreal today, but the special meeting will be adjourned until Quebecor and the Caisse have formally tabled their counter offer, valued at just under $5.9 billion.
		The takeover fight for Videotron has taken on regional overtones since Rogers is a powerful Toronto company well connected on Bay Street and the Caisse and Quebecor are determined to keep a strong Quebec presence in the growing Internet economy.
		On the weekend, Groupe Videotron's chief executive Claude Chagnon suggested an attempt to block the Rogers stock swap deal is an act of vengeance against the cable giant by a disgruntled former executive.

		I think that Videotron is in the same boat, the cost of implementing a capping (monitoring tools to the client) is more expensive than the revenue that it would generate.
		Videotron is a poor very poor company (or should I say cheap).
