Fido employees in Blackout period starting October 4th, prepping for “a major phone launch”

It’s expected that Apple will be announcing the next iPhone on October 4th. This is still a rumour just like all the upgraded specs. However, a good sign that brings truth to the rumour, and that Canadians will be getting the new iPhone, is an email to some Fido employees of an upcoming blackout period. The email states that “Due to a major phone launch in starting weeks of Q4, Fido employees are in blackout from October 4, 2011 to November 31, 2011 to help with the increase of traffic and sales”. The email also says “this launch is expected to be the largest in history”. Granted, November 31st doesn’t exist and there’s no direct mention that this is the next iPhone, but similar blackout periods happened with the iPhone 4.

We’ll have more info soon!
(Thanks tipster!)
