This press release popped up today to announce that any Canadian with any ISP can get Shomi starting today:
Starting today, Canadians can subscribe directly to shomi to access the service through their Internet provider. And shomi is accessible on the platforms Canadians want – tablet, mobile, online, Xbox 360, Apple TV, Chromecast, as well as set-top boxes for Rogers and Shaw TV subscribers. The service is also on offer to other cable providers and ISPs. New members get to try their first month of shomi for free when they subscribe, then enjoy non-stop streaming for just $8.99 per month.
This happened quicker than I thought it would. I say that because when Rogers and Shaw (who both run Shomi) said that they were going to do this (likely because the CRTC pretty much forced them to), there was no timetable attached to it other than “this summer.” It also puts some pressure on Bell’s CraveTV to respond as they have said that they would do the same thing at the start of next year. Now they may not be able to wait.
