A dangerous precedence? The reason why we pay so much is because we don't have any competition at all. This is suppose to be captialism in Canada. With no competition there is no innovation. By the way, do you actually think that our money is staying in Canada? Bell has call centres in India. Is you're money staying here? Are you serious? A dangerous precedence?

all that happened on friday was that the market ‘corrected’ itself for the gains that rogers did over the past 2 months, which was not justified

rogers is now properly trading where it should be and is doing fine.

That's totally true. I love the irony of the SAF. I agree that Rogers response was the best, even though they don't mean it. No company would gladly give up some of their market share in the name of competition. I agree, too, that it's too bad for Canadians' money to be leaving our country, but at the same time, it will save Canadians a ton of money. No word on the official plans, but I have no doubt that they are going to shock the other wireless companies. It will cause a change for all customers, and in the long run make our incumbents more honest. Many other countries around the world have foreign investors in their wireless companies, and that's why their technology is more advanced, and their prices are so much lower than Canadians are. In addition, Canada has a terrible penetration rate, and Wind will assist in getting even more Canadians to be able to afford a cell phone. Honestly, I can't even imagine living without one anymore. When I travel out of Canada, I always turn off my cell phone, and it drives me crazy to not have it. Hopefully with Wind, Canadians will be able to afford to keep it on, because the rates won't be so insane. Haha. That’s totally true. I love the irony of the SAF.

Orascom's(their parent company) website states they have 498 million subscribers! That's 15 times the population of Canada! Tony Clement has for some reason sold us all out. This will have implications across all industries and will lead to Canadian money going into the pockets of non-Canadians. It's bad for the Canadian economy. All so some people can save $5 a month on their phone bill? Disgraceful. Globalive is clearly not a Canadian owned company.

If you've got the money maybe you can back them. However they can't afford to launch nationwide right now. No one would be able to.

Hope they fail so that other carriers can come in the market and bring TRUE nation-wide competition. Disappointing to see they’re not in Quebec.

Neither myself or my friends will ever use a firm that is tied to the same company that frequently outbound telemarkets its long distance services, even if you tell them to take them off your list. Sometimes they even use Call Display to hide who they really are or even tell you that they want to sell you a Yak plan from Bell Canada! You can never get your name removed from their list! DISGUSTING. Globalive/Wind need to be careful.
