That's fantastic! So it sounds like it is working. Competition. What a concept. $5/MB is highway robbery! Why do people put up with it?!?! When I do come back to Canada, I'll be with WIND. No way I'm giving my money to the robber barons. Canadians are like sheep and just put up with it like they have no choice. Or they just do without and get left behind and are proud of it. I've met so many Canadians that proudly tell you that they don't have a cell phone, like it is a badge of honour. Like the luddites that tell you that they don't own a computer or don't know how to use one and make you feel like a freak or a geek because you are proficient.
There is a downside to progress for progress' sake, but having lived in the US for 4 years, I know that technological advance has in many ways increased my family's quality of life.
As their primary shareholder said, they are in it to make money, not just to be the hero, but Canada was being held back and anything to lower prices will increase market uptake. Competent regulators could have achieved the same effect without putting hundreds of millions of the Orascom guy's money on the line but hey, whatever it takes.
Godspped WIND.
