What does more competition in the Canadian Wireless industry mean? Not much!!


So the doors to the Canadian mobile industry got kicked open over the past year with a number of new players. The thought was that more competition would drive pricing down & be better for the Canadian people. So has it worked? Are Canadians saving money on wireless?
·         The “competitive presence” of the new companies contributed to a reduction in the average monthly cellphone bill from $58.81 to $57.86, the CRTC said in a recent press release.
·         The new starts up companies captured just 2% of the overall subscriber share by the end of 2010,  reports show, meaning that Rogers, Bell and Telus continue to dominate the cellphone industry.
The Wireless industry in Canada is not just about money, it’s about quality & range of coverage….. it’s about device choice.  If you want an iPhone, go to one of the big 3…. because they don’t carry them at Wind & Mobilicity. Looks like Canadians are opting for better phones & coverages.
