I think that the iPhone itself is the real draw to Rogers right now. Their thinking is probably along the lines of "we're the exclusive provider of this phone which everyone wants... we can rip them off and they'll still buy it!" And when you look at it, the other rates in Canada aren't that much better. That's half of what RuinediPhone is about now that it's been bought by OilChange (a marketing/media company). Canadians are shafted by lack of competition in the mobile market due to the government restrictions in this space. Less competition = higher prices and less value.

Who wants to move to Europe with me?
