MOAR COMPETITION IN CANADA !!!]]>Dec 11th 2009 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/reversed-decision-enables-globalive-to-enter-canadas-cellphon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/reversed-decision-enables-globalive-to-enter-canadas-cellphon/
All that said, I will have to see some major investment on the part of Globalive in the form of infrastructure before I consider them 'competition' to the current carriers in Canada. And if anything, I'd rather see the internet market opened up, rather than the wireless market.]]>Dec 11th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/reversed-decision-enables-globalive-to-enter-canadas-cellphon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/reversed-decision-enables-globalive-to-enter-canadas-cellphon/Dec 11th 2009 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/reversed-decision-enables-globalive-to-enter-canadas-cellphon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/reversed-decision-enables-globalive-to-enter-canadas-cellphon/

But to anyone hoping iPhone support, you can go and hope Rogers/Telus/Bell drop prices once the competition starts.
As it was already set by Wind, the iPhone is not a device they are looking forward to carry, but on the other hand they WILL accept unlocked phones to be used for windmobile as long as they are compatible with their network.]]>Dec 11th 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/reversed-decision-enables-globalive-to-enter-canadas-cellphon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/reversed-decision-enables-globalive-to-enter-canadas-cellphon/
The CRTC needs to wake up to a few facts. Cell phones have become a necessity in this century ! It is a requirement for my Job. And the reccession should show that the consumer needs to have an out to recover ones bills, Contracts should only apply to the purchase of the Overly inflated expensive phone NOT on the services.
I should have the ability to cancel my phones services freely at any time. But we all know how that will work in the end, they will just recoup thier cash with exorbant hook up and disconnect fees. ]]>Dec 11th 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/reversed-decision-enables-globalive-to-enter-canadas-cellphon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/reversed-decision-enables-globalive-to-enter-canadas-cellphon/
