Proposed by a Grit... Huh! I like it anyway. I am surprised that it has taken so long for someone to come up with this. Drives me NUTS!! I too believe we have been being hosed by the cell phone companies. In my own experience, we bought a "family Plan" over the phone and of course could not really understand all the ins and outs of the agreement as dictated in a few seconds over the phone. Didn't realize that there were only 100 daytime minutes between all three users... hello! That does not go anywhere. Well once the free stuff was over for a few months then all of a sudden I started getting $400. - 500. bills... Yikes.... So I'd phone each month and something would get adjusted and the bill reduced... etc. etc. This went on for a few months with "unlimited texting" that really wasn't unlimited and other things we were trying to get right. Anoying, anoying! Finally I had enough. Ended up costing me $400. to cancel the contract and I still have the 3 phones sitting in my desk. Great! I still have my own phone and It costs me just under $100. month. I don't even text!
The other thing that really bugs me is that I can't even get a North American One Rate plan in Canada. You can get them all day long in the US and they include Canada. They are even at a decent rate... Yes, that is what real competition will do.
I agree with Mr. McGuinty and I think that PM Harper and the Conservatives should fast track this one through!
