Their satellite TV division reaches almost a million homes across Canada. Shaw Communications, with its specialization in Cable and Satellite TV, has a very solid market base in Western Canada, especially now, with the purchase of the Winnipeg –based Canwest Global franchise. This characteristic is a major competitive advantage against the other three telecom giants. Shaw has been trying very hard to expand its services into the high speed internet and wireless communications market in order to compete with the other three major Canadian telecom companies, and this pathway has seen varying degrees of success. Although this company specializes in the cable and satellite T.V sectors, it is not a big competitor in the mobile industry, where there is more money to be made. Shaw is also not at the top of the list in terms of its dividend payouts. This affects interested investors as there are other higher dividend distributers which may be more attractive. Another negative point which affected Shaw’s profits in the first quarter of 2015, was the introduction of Shomi video streaming platform, in partnership with Rogers. Shaw recorded a $13 million equity loss in the start up of this programming. Shaw has also been losing customers due to comparable products from companies such as Netflix and web sites such as
Media. The main means of mass communication regarded collectively. It comes in the form of t.v., radio, newspapers, magazines etc. The media has a way of portraying a story in a way that they want it to be seen by audiences. In other words, the media only tells us only what they want us to hear; which, may or may not be the truth or include the entire story. The media is always looking for the next best story and the competition to be the first one on the scene can be intense. A documentary by 9.14 Productions tells the story of a man and his art collection; The Barnes Foundation.
Rogers has always been a leader in innovative technology and services, from the invention of the first radio to different levels of cable services and the country’s first cellular and high-speed network.
M.T Anderson’s novel Feed gives readers a representation of a future dystopian world, one in which technology is not simply around us yet embedded inside our heads. Anderson gives a warning for our own society by drawing parallels between our society and the feed. As Anderson describes, "Everything's dead. Everything's dying." (Anderson 180). In this dystopian world, the environment turns into a disaster due to how rapidly technology is advancing, and this concept can relate to our society today. Indeed, society’s life has improved over the decades due to technological advances, however, it brings more damage to the earth.
Basketball was created and has been played since December 1891 (Griffiths, 2010), it is a game of skill and talent that is enjoyed by fans all over the world. There are numerous leagues, but the two main leagues are the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the National Basketball Association (NBA).
