{ *** BBC RADIO- British Prime Minister, David Cameron, reports that the British are raising their Security Levels to ‘Severe’ because of news from Iraq and Syria. They are saying that Islamic Terrorists are more likely to attack Britain than ever before.\u00a0 – Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that Ukrainian action in Eastern Ukraine is reminiscent of Nazi actions during World War II. Ukrainians say the same things about Russian actions near their borders. NATO is saying that,\u00a0 if Ukraine asks to join NATO, they will almost certainly accept.\u00a0 *** Lots of alarms are going off in my head —djo— }<\/span><\/p>\n

Regulator battles telecom companies over ‘pay-to-pay’ billing fees<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 { * So yesterday, somebody said that paper billing is a waste that costs $500M too much a year. Today there’s an article saying that telecom companies want to exclude seniors and veterans from being charged extra fees for ‘paper billing’. & ” Canada’s big telecom companies say they will keep charging customers additional fees for producing and mailing paper bills, with some exceptions. – The announcement came after\u00a0executives from nearly a dozen major\u00a0telecom\u00a0companies\u00a0\u2014 including Bell, Rogers and\u00a0Telus\u00a0\u2014 met with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for an all-day meeting\u00a0in\u00a0Gatineau, Que. – The companies said they would exempt these groups from paper billing (pay-to-pay) fees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
    \n
  • Seniors.<\/li>\n
  • Individuals with disabilities.<\/li>\n
  • Military veterans.<\/li>\n
  • Customers with no internet connections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n

– But in a statement released after the meeting, regulators say that\u00a0doesn’t go far enough. – CRTC chair Jean-Pierre Blais\u00a0said “many Canadians who will not benefit from the exemptions will be disappointed with the outcome so far.”- A consumer advocacy group says Canadians are paying hundreds of millions of dollars a year in paper bills from telecom companies. This week, telecom giants said they would exclude seniors, veterans and certain other groups from such fees, but the CRTC says that’s not good enough. (CBC)\u00a0 – Blais also praised the four companies \u2014\u00a0Cogeco\u00a0Cable,\u00a0MTS\u00a0Allstream,\u00a0SaskTel\u00a0and Shaw Communications \u2014 that\u00a0have opted\u00a0not to charge for paper fees, saying “Canadians should keep this in mind when they select service providers.”\u00a0 —djo— }<\/p>\n
