E-Comm Structure
Members that are actively using the wide-area radio system receive one Class A share for each participating service using the radio system.
In order to protect the rights of Metro Vancouver municipalities that will want to use the radio service, Class B shares are issued for each service that intends to use the radio system but is not participating at the present time. Therefore, municipalities may hold a combination of Class A and Class B shares.
