" That's my point! They both agreed on NOT offering it! Instead of offering a service most people could use every day they've decided to offer video calling. Look at how "successful" this has been in Europe: A dud! “I don’t see how it’s a collusion as Bell and Telus don’t even offer UMA in the first place. ”

At least I haven't found any reference to UMA on their sites or their subsidiary sites (i.e. Virgin, Solo, Koodo). Even if they didn't remove UMA from their 9700s, you still wouldn't get UMA service on their networks because they would need servers configured. For example, on a Rogers' 8520 or 8900, if you check the UMA section under Advanced WiFi diagnostics you'll see they point to servers on the Rogers' network.

Another blatant case of collusion. Bell is also blocking the UMA feature. I expect Telus will do the same. “The BB 9700 from Rogers will not have UMA.”

They don't seem to be consistently offered by carriers (and I'm not thinking just about Canada) and nobody ever talks about how many people are actually using them. Are they popular? Are they actually having any impact on carrier cost structures or consumer buying/usage behaviour? How popular are UMA services?

Are they popular? Are they actually having any impact on carrier cost structures or consumer buying/usage behaviour?
