THUNDER BAY, Ont. – Municipally-owned telco Thunder Bay Telecom was granted cable TV and video on demand licenses by the CRTC today. The small telco becomes the latest in a line of traditional Canadian telephone companies, large or small, to be granted such a license. While it’s not known when the new service will launch, TBayTel will go up against incumbent MSO Shaw Communications in its northwestern Ontario properties, which include Thunder Bay and the surrounding area, as well as some other smaller communities. www.crtc.gc.ca www.tbaytel.net
