Prentice hits telecoms right in the junk

November 29th, 2007 at 9:23 am (Tales of the Swamp)

Considering that I spend about 95% of my complaining on Rogers and other big telecoms, I’m glad to hear this great news on Riz’s Blog.

Industry Minister Jim Prentice has just announced that the government will put in place measures as part of the forthcoming spectrum auction to encourage greater competition within the Canadian wireless market. Prentice acknowledged that Canadian wireless pricing is too high, particularly for data. Accordingly, they will set aside a significant chunk of spectrum - nearly 40 percent of the auction - solely for new entrants and mandate tower sharing.

Of course this is legislative but combined with the $15 post I made a few days ago we could really be seeing the start of a large change in the Canadian wireless industry, one with less gouging and more choice! I think I’m going to faint.

I’m not sure whether to drop my Rogers plan now and go with Virgin (which I was considering up until yesterday), or drop my Rogers plan now and go with Virgin and wait a few months to see what changes this will make in the market. I think I’m going with plan B.

I’m trying to coin new words to describe the Internet, so pardon the title.

That is by far the best headline I’ve ever seen from The Sun.

This is the kind of reporting we need from the Globe and Mail. I don’t care about middle-eastern politics, I care about dogs in planes, and puns about dogs in planes. If it doesn’t involve a dog wearing goggles and a cute little white scarf, I don’t want to hear about it.
