Shaw gets CRTC approval to expand services to Campbell River, B.C.

We can't imagine Campbell River residents being enthused about having access to heavily pixelated HD content, but nevertheless, Shaw has just received CRTC approval to extend the authorized service area of its Courtenay British Columbia cable system to include the aforesaid community. The thumbs-up gives the carrier the ability to offer up its full range of cable, internet and digital phone services in Campbell River, but it doesn't seem as if anything new is coming to the new locale. Here's to hoping you folks have better luck than most everyone else with the picture quality.
