Shaw Drops "Price Bomb" on Fibre Competitor

By Michael Geist

Shaw has dropped a "price bomb" on Novus Entertainment, a small cable operator in Vancouver, BC.  Novus is offering fibre-to-the-home is some residential buildings in the city.  In response, Shaw is offering those customers 15Mbps service with a 100GB cap for $9.95, 200 channels of TV service (with 25 high-definition channels) for $9.95, or digital phone service with free installation, also for $9.95 a month.  Other Shaw customers are not eligible for the offer, so Novus has launched 10BucksToo.com in response along with action at the BC Supreme Court and the Competition Bureau.
