I read once that we pay the highest rates for mobile data (or at least I think I did) in the world but I don’t recall reading why. Maybe it had something to do with near-monopolies or infrastructure?
Are there any changes coming that may change this?
Because 2 companies (bell, rogers) control almost the vast majority of telecomm rights in Canada - and the government is too spineless to change that. (These companies also own many media outlets that do not publish stories critical of their parent companies.) Those two companies have a duopoly and charge what they please. As Canadians, we deserve better. Why should those two companies reap huge profits that we all pay for?
