Once this does happen, the carriers will no longer have the same hold over consumers as they have today... Carriers today are like what AOL used to be in the past (both the means of connectivity and the main source of content)... as the internet has shown us, these two are separate today... this will happen in the realm of communications as well...

Check out this link: http://mobileopportunity.blogspot.com/2006/09/european-vs-american-mobile-phone-use.html If Canada wasn't afraid of pissing off the Big Four cellphone companies, Bell, Rogers, Telus, Fido (part of Rogers) - I guess it's the Big Three, there might be more cell phones in Canada. So what do you think, Aydin? More mobile companies or more of the same? --John :) It’s also interesting to note the difference in cultures- even between the U.S.A., Canada, and Europe.

If Canada wasn’t afraid of pissing off the Big Four cellphone companies, Bell, Rogers, Telus, Fido (part of Rogers) – I guess it’s the Big Three, there might be more cell phones in Canada.

So what do you think, Aydin? More mobile companies or more of the same?
