| Stop the Squeeze
Quote:
A grassroots group has launched an online petition urging Canadians to speak out against domination of the cell phone market by the country's big three wireless companies – Rogers Communications Inc., BCE Inc. and Telus Corp.
"We're calling for a level playing field," Steve Anderson, executive director of OpenMedia.ca told CBC News in a phone interview.
"Canadians don't want the big three to knock out the independents and have a stranglehold over the future of our communication. They want choice and affordability."
More than 30,000 people have signed the Stop the Cellphone Squeeze petition since it was launched this week.
| Petition aims to end cellphone monopoly - Technology & Science - CBC News
Basically, its a petition to the government to set aside wireless spectrum for new entrants so that they at least have a chance at succeeding in Canada. Otherwise its obvious the Big3 will be able to push the new entrants out of the market with their 94% market share.
(not promoting or selling anything here, just sign the petition if you feel it's right)

Signed. More competition will usually benefit us consumers so its a good thing imo.

good concept, but I have never seen a petition actually work,
no matter how many signature are on it, it means nothing.
but signed anyway

more government intervention is NOT going to get you a better deal.
The reason Canada has less competition is because of regulations against foreign investment in Telecom
