As I recently announced to this list before Christmas, the CBC (Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation) has taken the plunge and begun making content
available over the Internet. The success of this trial has led them to
believe that the Internet offers a major opportunity to reach new audiences,
Canadians living abroad, and potential new markets for their content and
services.
They have asked me to find out what the proper etiquette is on the Internet
with regard to billing for services *and* to advise them how this could be
done.
I would appreciate any advice or ideas that the participants on this list
could share with me.
Thank you once again for your support and your time.
