HURON COUNTY KABLE In recent years, the advanced technology has allowed cable TV subscriptions to be delivered to town and country residences anywhere via a wireless personal cable system. The expense of running cable lines or installing new fibreoptic lines to each resident in the county is not feasible. Installing a wireless cable unit into each household allows the subscribers to have access to over 100 free channels, with the option of subscribing to specialty channels on an individual basis (thus bypassing the middleman, "the cable company.") Allen Stubbs... First in Entertainment has had over 10 years experience in providing cable TV subscription signals from their private cable systems throughout Ontario. Therefore, the wireless residential units are a natural addition to their product lines. Allen Stubbs has been granted the exclusive right to rent, lease, or sell wireless Country Kable systems throughout Huron County.
