No more City Fido? No more cut-throat free-handset deals? 
And Rogers customer service...  |

| I guess Rogers didn't like the $45 unlimited local calling.

| wow u kidding me???? hmm anyway i was planning to get telus [:p] |
| vin_diesel |
| did they buy it?? i jus heard telus was tryin to buy it then rogers wanted to buy it then i lost track!! |
| bb |
| Rogers haven't bought Fido yet. They just placed a bid. |
| jennylee |
| rogers made a bid for 1.4 billion and telus did for 1.1 billion. |

| m impressed by da flow of info ...frm ca to delhi..... fido accepts rogers offer of 1.4billion$ pending regulatory approval! |

| Good that Rogers would take over fido [:)]
I would say rogers has the best network coverage in the GSM network in canada [:)] |

| And now they're a monopoly... [:-?] Would they still remain "the best?" Dunno. [?] Who do we compare them to? [:(] |

| Each CDMA provider is basically a monopoly unto itself. [xx(] Handsets can't be swapped between them. With GSM, you could get Rogers to give you a free handset, then unlock it and use it on Fido. [:p] Or vice-versa. Now there's only one provider, I doubt we'll still get free handsets. [:((] |

| big doesntt necessarily mean better ...not in norht america...they r gonna squeeze more outta customers thru higher charges...less customer service..... e.g. bell vs sprint!! u need fido n deals like city fido to keep rogers on thier toes...i think its bad news ...less competetion is alywas bad news!!! i think reliance shud launch in canada jus to keep da prices down!! |
