CRTC CONGRATULATES CABLE COMPANIES
ON JOB WELL DONE
OTTAWA-HULL — The CRTC publicly
recognizes the efforts of cable companies and their employees in providing outstanding
service to their communities in Eastern Ontario and parts of Quebec that were struck by
what has become known as the Ice Storm of 1998.
During the storm, cable operators utilized their community channels as a lifeline
service to provide continual updates and bulletins to their communities. In addition,
cable companies volunteered their vehicles and staff around the clock to transport
necessities to shelters such as firewood and food.
The Commission apologizes for having failed to mention the effort of cable operators
during the ice storm in an earlier press release which recognized the efforts of other
industry players during the ice storm.
