I hope you're being sarcastic with "chronically undercharged" too, you should flip that idea around!]]>Jul 10th 2008 11:26AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/telus-bell-start-charging-for-incoming-texts-government-takes/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/telus-bell-start-charging-for-incoming-texts-government-takes/Jul 10th 2008 5:21PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/telus-bell-start-charging-for-incoming-texts-government-takes/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/telus-bell-start-charging-for-incoming-texts-government-takes/Jul 10th 2008 7:43PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/telus-bell-start-charging-for-incoming-texts-government-takes/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/telus-bell-start-charging-for-incoming-texts-government-takes/http://www.ndp.ca/page/6577]]>Jul 10th 2008 2:11PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/telus-bell-start-charging-for-incoming-texts-government-takes/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/10/telus-bell-start-charging-for-incoming-texts-government-takes/
Most of the larger new entrants will start offering service using roaming sometime in mid to late 2009 and begin to build their networks to backfill their customers and market plans. However, other than the cableco based competitors, the others will probably have financial difficulties in the longer term. The Canadian market cannot support 4-6 carriers. The much larger US market can barely support 4-5 per market - evidence the recent wave of consolidation and Sprint's current troubles. Either way, with three new competitors in each market, get ready for much better plans - at least for 3-5 years.
Don't lock yourself into 3 year contracts this year!
