Unlimited Music: Videotron would like to work with the CRTC

May 25, 2017

On April 20, Videotron received a Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) decision ordering it to stop offering its customers and consumers its unlimited music service by July 19 2017. Marketing of the service was therefore discontinued on May 10, 2017.

However, Videotron filed a review application with the CRTC today in order to minimize the impact on customers who are already using the service. Videotron is asking the CRTC to permit measures that would allow customers who are enjoying the service launched two years ago a smooth and advantageous transition. Videotron shares the CRTC’s commitment to putting Canadian consumers first.
