Columbia Gas of Virginia is improving the way you are billed. We will be converting to Dekatherm billing effective with bills mailed after February 1, 2016. â¢ Columbia Gas is aligning the way it bills customers for natural gas with the heating value of the product (i.e., the energy), and to match the way natural gas is bought and sold in the wholesale market place. â¢ This is only a billing conversion process, not a rate increase. Customers were previously billed based on the volume of gas consumed per month, or thousand cubic feet (Mcf), and will now be billed based on the energy consumed per month, or Dekatherms (DTH). â¢ The volume of gas is measured in Mcf (thousand cubic feet), while the heating or energy value of gas is measured in Dekatherms (DTH).

Main article: List of Canadian mobile phone companies. As of Q4 2012, Canada has 29.2 million subscribers in total for a 82% penetration rate. The country's telecom regulator is the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). However, it does not regulate most aspects of mobile phone service; prices and service quality are not regulated at all, while spectrum allocation is handled by Industry Canada. There are numerous mobile virtual network operators, such as Virgin Mobile Canada. These are not presently listed due to difficulty retrieving data for all such operators, and uncertainty as to whether the figures below include MVNOs operating on the applicable networks.
