That's why there is a spectrum auction going on.. If you remember like 8 years ago how many cellular carriers there were, not including re-sellers. There was Microcell Solutions, Clearnet, Telus, Bell, and Rogers, thats 5 companies.. Now we're down to 3. The more new entrants introduced, will force lower rates, and more competitive offerings.

yeah but there were more then just those you mention At&t Canada, MCI Canada, Sprint Canada, but they were all bought out by Rogers. Even as they are offereing more space for compition, who would come here with the big 3 telecom here? Virgin Moble is the only one that came and they are struggling. I would love to see Vodafone come to Canada as they are the best provider in Europe & Asia. but do you really see them coming here to set up a GSM network overnight? I don't.
