Then Fido launched with a $40/400min package (or was it $20/200? -- one followed shortly on the heels of the first). The market reacted and rates came down. From a consumer point of view, competition is always a good thing. Now ask me if it's a good thing that every 15 year old and her brother can chatter for hours at a time on their cellphone while riding next to me on the city bus, and I might have a different answer :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('317','Michelle'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('317','Michelle','Before Fido\'s first owner, Microcell, entered the wireless market in 1996, cellphones were a luxury and Canadians were paying over $100 for their monthly service.

Now ask me if it’s a good thing that every 15 year old and her brother can chatter for hours at a time on their cellphone while riding next to me on the city bus, and I might have a different answer :)

Look at the iPhone and the fact that we are nowhere near an introduction in Canada.
