Rogers Wireless potential class action lawsuit for 911 fees
Ontario resident Patricia Robson is looking to launch a class action lawsuit against Rogers Wireless. The reason is those 911 service fees… these fees dispatch police, fire and ambulance services. She says that no more than $0.10 is actually required by regulators to pay for the necessary telecommunications infrastructure. Rogers currently charges $0.50 a month for its 911fees (Bell and Telus charge $0.75).
CRTC says it’s up to individual operators to justify higher 911 fees and says there is no requirement to break out a separate charge on subscriber bills.

Why not go after the system access fees instead? They are more expensive and there actually is no legitimate reason why we are paying it. It isn’t some special case, it’s just them making a separate fee to make more money.

We should also include all of the other illegal charges that they know are incorrect, yet do nothing to fix the problem.

There is already a class action lawsuit in Saskatchewan for $20B against all cell providers for charging the system access fee. Tony Merchant from the Merchant Law Group is the lawyer heading the class action.
