CBC Had a Subscription Documentary Channel. Now It Wants Taxpayers to Fund a Free One
The CBC is shutting down its subscription-based Documentary Channel on August 31 and replacing it with a free ad-supported streaming channel launching this fall, backed by a $7 million funding increase for Canadian documentaries.

Your $0 on a 12 months term is not that realistic. The regular price for a brand new iPhone 4 right now is around $600 with tax. I am not talking about used phone. That’s around $50 per month loss for 12 months to whoever giving you the phone for free.

Actually, just 3 weeks ago, the “Rogers Red Hot Deals” was selling the iPhone 4 16GB (not 8GB) for $63 on ONE year contract!
Much better than this deal. It has since sold out. So $0 on 12 months is not totally unrealistic. It is within reach…. maybe after iPhone 5 is announced in the next few months?
