Hopefully whoever wins the wireless spectrum auction (http://agora.ic.gc.ca/AuctionGCLF_BTS/bidderResults.cfm http://agora.ic.gc.ca/AuctionGCLF_BTS/bidderResults.cfm) will change the Canadian market by introducing competitive rates. I'm betting on Videotron.
Also, what is the CRTC doing... they should realize something is wrong in the Canadian telco industry.
- rahulgarg 18y agoI came to Canada from India. India is experiencing a telecom revolution right now because of the intense competition b/w the telcos. The call rates have dropped 10-30 times in the last 7-8 years. I was appalled at the cell phone rates here in canada.
- elai 18y agoYes, telecom sucks in canada. Woo, bad publicity for rogers!
- phd2000 18y agoDon't count on it. This is a country where Bell and Telus just announced that they will now be charging for incoming text. An additional 15 cents for incoming text, even if it was unsolicited. Ok now let's step back from the initial outrage and think about it. This is supposedly two independent carriers making a joint announcement of a price increase. Now, I have no idea if I just stepped into Wonderland, but in my world that is called price fixing. Where two entities collude to fleece customers even more. Sort of the same idea where local gas stations collude to fix gas prices. Now that's what I call balls, the monopolistic carriers don't even care about getting caught.
