I wonder whether the major providers will use this as an excuse to jack up the prices, internet specifically, or try to be more competitive. Telus was ready to buy me out of contract, install a line that doesn’t exist and offer month to month from get go, so logically I would assume it could help drive prices down, but then again greed beats logic.

At the very least I hope the cellphone plan changes should help those who don’t usually shop around and don’t sign up for plans when providers offer to “cover” the connection fee or w/e they call that bullshit.

    My reaction to this news was “oh yeah, that makes sense.”

    And then I realized how seldom I’ve reacted to a news story that way in the last while.
