Did anyone notice Bell has stopped producing monthly flyers and seasonal offers?
My local Bell World, previously well-kept, had about 300 flyers for April sitting in a bin, in disarray, at the front of the store last week, expired. They have two HD TVs: one always on CP24 (which was off, with the CP24 signal burned into the screen) and the second tuned to CTV with a PVR in front but not connected, also in SD. I guess HD isn't worth showing.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't Mother's Day around the corner? Previously, Frank and Gordon would be offering cellphones, TV and Internet in some tasty offers in a nicely produced four page flyer. I guess marketing can't be bothered this year. Maybe they are hibernating eating all those Christmas jelly beans.
Or maybe the take-over fever is injecting such chaos into senior and middle management, and lower ranks where no one is prepared to take any risks, or decisions, that the whole ship is on hold for a few months. Then a new crew will come aboard and take a few more months to learn the ropes.
Tune in again in 2008, folks, same time next year. The good news is you'll be able to buy MPEG4 HD recievers by then but still have a year to wait before any new HD services will be available.
