Okay guys, take pictures of deals at Rogers, Bell, and Telus websites. All the deals that were poping up like no System Access fees and extra mins will soon be gone, I bet like by this weekend.

I am sure Rogers will soon start charging by not only per minute but by how many words you speak.

So all you fast speakers out there you think you can save minutes by talking fast? Not gonna happen, Muhahahaha!

Come on now, lets do our Canadian companies a favor, let them make money, its in our best interest. Damn us customers.

Doesn't surprise me in the least! CRTC isn't about to let their "monopolistic" ways go bye bye...

....and, as per the canadian way, we'll all just bend over and take it up the ass again.
How a cell phone can be construed as a potential attack on canadian cultural sovereignty is something I can't seem to figure out.

Its not... that is CRTC speak for protecting "their right" to continue to give it "up the ass" to all us subscribers...

Don't confuse what I say as a rationale for keeping the CRTC around but it seems pretty clear that the bid does not comply with Canadian law. That's not the CRTC's fault. It seems the request is headed to Cabinet so we'll see if the Conservatives live up to their "more competition is better" mantra.

Don't hold your breath... politician's don't have a very good track record when it comes to making good decisions...

Correct. Globalalive' s strategy has always been, "We won't play by the rules; we will embarrass the government into changing the rules after we've been turned down by the CRTC".

Fuck them....they are not golden boys....just another middle-eastern financial enterprise masquerading as a Canadian company in the telecom industry.

Don't worry, I'm not. But not because of the track record of political decisions but because it seems the CPOC is nothing more than a re-branded liberal party.

Did you know that for $80 US, you can get an American carrier to supply you with a phone and have unlimited minutes and long disctance each month. Many Canadians have US phones with these plans
