Cheaper phone plans for Canadians could be closer than we think.

On Monday, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that itโ€™s reached a significant milestone in increasing phone services competition in Canada.

Fuck, I just got back from NZ and it was $88 for a SIM, 60 days unlimited calling, 100GB data, and 250 minutes to a big list of countries (incl Canada).And they're working on using Starlink to improve the network in the South Island so they have less impact from towers in the mountains

Canadian telcos have the highest ARPU in the world, it's ridiculous. The telephone/internet/cell towers should be run by a crown corp and the telcos pay into it. We fucked up privatizing, but that seems to be the status quo
