I was cheking for new products and rates on thiers site and found this :

This is a great move from Telus, being open to unlocked phone will certainly help to kick innovation in this sector in Canada. Now it will be interesting to see if others player in Canada will follow.

Scrap the CRTC, petition urges ? Maybe it’s a little too far!

Why scrap? Fix it instead!

We need an board like that. But it need to work.

Can’t just let the system regulate itself. That’s why the mobile services are so expensive in Canada and that our Internet providers have free reign like they have right now.

Scrap the CRTC, petition urges
An online petition to dissolve the CRTC has attracted hundreds of signatures in the wake of the regulator’s ruling against independent internet providers last week.

What do you think?

Bell Mobility buys remaining 50% of Virgin Mobile

Ennev — Thu, 07 May 2009 23:56:00 +0000

When I said we had a problem with mobility in Canada! This does not feel right.

This brand had probably the lowest rate in Canada and was really no gimmic.

I wonder how long it will last.

And what will happen to Solo also a brand owned by Bell. They didn’t know how to make that fly and they’ll do better with Virgin?

If it things to come with the new licences that are to be created? Is it competition and open market?

Fell it’s more like the movie “highlander” at the end there can be only one?

The android will be at Rogers: http://www.rogers.com/web/content/wireless-text/featuredphones?content3=a

NO ? So why is that Rogers always get the nice phones? o.k. o.k. most of the cool phone are GSM, but it really feel like Telus and Bell lack of buzz. They really need to work on theirs images.

Rogers to charge customers without text plans for incoming messages

Ennev — Wed, 06 May 2009 01:55:13 +0000

I’m tired of theses gimmic. Like receiving 140 chrs take so much bandwidth? It’s time for real competition in this business or reglementation. Now they are just following each others. One provider rise something and the others follow.

Cheap.
