Competitiveness of Canadian Cellular Market
Some blogs have recently been commenting on the competitiveness of the Canadian telecom market. I decided to check out Fido’s website to see how things have changed during 2005. Thanks to Rogers (who acquired Fido just over a year ago), the bill for Fido subscribers heading south this winter as compared to last may be twice as high. So much for competition.
