Internet telephone provider ZingoTel has filed a $1.2 million lawsuit against Shaw Communications, claiming the cable giant refused to broadcast a ZingoTel TV spot because it promoted a competing phone service.

ZingoTel, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., said it arranged in October to pay Shaw’s media buyer, Corus Entertainment, $36,000 to air an advertisement on one of Shaw’s channels.
