More competition? yes!
From Orascom listening on our phone calls? no!

not the first time orascom gets kicked out of a country for national security reasons.

foreign ownership is not just for cultural protection…

Decent phones? No, not really. Most current phones don’t work on the spectrum that Globalive licensed.

Monika, customers ask those questions all the time, but not necessarily in a direct way.

How big is your coverage? Will my phone work when I drive out here on vacation? How fast will the internet on this USB thing? Can I use my phone in Europe or Asia?

Sometimes the technological difference isn’t too important (eg most customers don’t know the difference between 1x and 1xEV-DO). However, the difference between HSPA+ and other technologies is substantial and easily explained to customers in non-technical terms.

Huge coverage, the latest devices, global roaming, etc. These are all direct benefits of the underlying technology.

But yes, customer service and monthly bills are also important.

No ONE cares about tech here . Trust me . When we sign up for services ..WE care about the monthly payments !!! And Customer Service . Trust me on this one . Have you ever heard people going in to Rogers or Bell asking them ..” tell me about your network system …how fast is it ..what kind is it ” … So … What is it again ????

Remember when Canadian Airlines went under and there was an option for American ownership? Then the Canadian government stepped in and declared that through ownership rules, this could not happen so Air Canada took over Canadian? Remember? Have you flown on Air Canada vs. Westjet? Have you seen how much it costs to fly in Canada? Then look at this nonsense! It is the same thing happening over and over again. We have our leg caught in a bear trap but we’ve forgotten that the trap is there and just live with this nonsense forever and ever…it must stop.

Who? The other new entrants, the 2 main ones of which Rogers/TELUS/BEll have already filed ownership structure complaints against? All the other new entrants are regional and most only in major centres. Globalive was the only one who was going to be a true national carrier.
