Legitimate issue, but a bit alarmist..

...both TELUS and Bell already have 3G / UMTS expansions planned for the very short term. Rogers already completed theirs (hence their name did not appear in the article).

Only total bandwidth hogs who live and die on the mobile internet all day would even notice a difference...probably less than 3 to 5 percent of users, if that. No impact at all on regular day-to-day users of voice and text and occasional bursting downloads....
