Thanks for joining us this week on SyrupDrop! The last few days have been full of beginnings and endings in Canadian tech. Not only did we bid farewell to the Rogers-Shaw streaming service, Shomi, but we welcomed the launch of Freedom Mobile’s LTE network. Sort of.
Furthermore, Netflix introduced offline viewing on its service this past week, which is bound to make plane rides and long road trips more bearable. The service available for over 100 titles, and only on the iOS and Android mobile apps.
