I read that story and it said that they were helping customers steal PPV events. It doesn't sound like they were a broker...
There is no way to steal PPV on Directv. That is Bell talking out of their arse and quoted by a reporter that doesn't know any better.
Freeway IS (or was) a broker. Look at the sticky atop this forum.
Bell is going after every broker that sells DirecTV and Dish Network subscriptions in Canada. They do not want Canadians to see what they are missing.
Trouble is, most of the brokers they are going after (and there are more that will soon be raided or sued) sell gray BEV or SC to US subs, and they have to cut them off when the raids produce the records.
So Bell is cutting off their nose to spite their face. Idiotic management decisions.
Why would the IDIOT managements of Bell or S.C. kill off some of their revenue? Do they actually think preventing Canadians from access to US sat. service, will make up for all the money they would lose from the USA? What did the King say, "It is a puzzlement?" It really is STUPID!
He didn't. He's just a s*** stirrer. Probably likes to see people get upset and over-react.

so I agree with Frank...believe what ya want
(by the way....last I checked SC didnt go after the other brokers that have been outed by Bell)
with *c "liberal" southern province rules, i doubt if they would ever bother, they are happy for the southern subs, though they can't publicly state that. for a $50.00 one time charge, *c will allow you to have service in a "second" home in Canada, usa, or mexico.
Could someone get the bills sent over to the second home to avoid broker fees and related charges?
With *C you have an option to get the bills only online ("Paper-Free Billing") and use credit card to pay.
Looks like the only way you can get Bell in the U.S. is if you have a relative in Canada who's willing to let you use his/her address...
I think the issue with freeway was that they where doing account stacking and charging people themselves for the service, instead of letting the company directly bill the customer.
