Videoway is available in London (England) from Videotron PLC for 1 pound
(http://www.dna.lth.se/cgi-bin/kurt/rates?CAD+GBP if you want to see
today's rate) per month, including VAT (Value Added Tax, equivalent to
GST/QST in Quebec). Technology that is supposedly Canadian, exported to
England costs less there than it does here! In fact, over 400% less! Makes
you wonder, doesn't it? And amazingly enough, the managed to make all the
services available in English.

Doesn't it just PISS you off to see the profits they are making on these
things? The engine of an Apple // with the same capabilities, leased for
$108.72 a year!
