eau de porneau.

From here.

I think it’s kind of disgusting that we’re getting fleeced like this, but I suppose it basically boils down to competition. I can’t say much for New Zealand or Rwanda, but I know there are so many mobile carriers in America that people are forced to offer crazy low prices for their product. In Canada we have what, 5? 6? And only a few of those are actually nationwide. For example, Fido doesn’t exist in Halifax, but Rogers does. Halifax has Aliant Mobility, which my Telus phone picks up on, and so on and so forth.

In any event, I’m pretty sure society will benefit if these services are priced cheaply enough that people who need or want them can get them at a reasonable price, rather than being dragged along like we are.
