Description: Bell has announced that starting next month, shows customers have recorded on their PVRs will disappear after 60 days. With the move to cloud storage, Bell clients have benefited by being able to watch their recorded shows on mobile devices. But, of course, all that cloud storage comes at a cost, and, it appears that Bell is looking to reduce this impact on its bottom line.

Discussion points:

1) Do you and your friends at university make much use of the pvr? If so, will the move by Bell impact you?

2) If you were an accountant employed by Bell, and you were asked to calculate the potential savings of this new “60-day delete” policy, how would you approach it?

3) Page 1-3 of Wiley’s Financial Accounting: Tools for Business Decision-Making tells us of a number of Canadians who have studied as accountants and then gone on to broader careers. Which accountant listed there has a significant position with Bell Canada?
