In the newspaper today I came across a column.
CALL OF DUTY
As the apple 3Giphone is introduced to canada, praise turned into anger. Stemed from the rogers rate plans for the 3G iphone which consumers feel is unfair when compared to more feature packed and inexpensive US rate plans.
The majority of voiced concern has been on a website "www.ruinediphone.com" which has collected more than 35,000 signatures on a petition asking Rogers to bring it;s iPhone plans in line with those offered to United States Customers. With a goal of hundreds of thousands of signatures to be placed on the petition, raging fans continue to voice their distaste for the monopoly inspired actions of Rogers, given it's exclusive access of the Apple 3G iPhone. Rogers defends their subsidized price saying it's lower than any rogers has ever offered. But we all know that canadian mobile companies have enjoyed a limited competition market and taken full advantage of the customer. Needless to say the customers are sick and tired of being exploited.
I think this case is significant because it's another case in which the big companies, are trying to do as they please at our expense, and without opposition. We must show companies like Rogers that we don't have to settle for second best, we don't deserve to be exploited, and we wont take it any more!
So please sign this petition and help the cause!
