3rd Quarter 2019 Results<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n

Total<\/strong><\/td>\n565,567<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

Interestingly, you can see that the “new entrants”, Videotron and Freedom, were responsible for more than a quarter of the total new subscriptions, despite having something less than 10% total market share. And this doesn’t include results from privately held Eastlink. So, despite continued growth for all the industry participants, competitors are growing proportionately faster and gaining market share. <\/p>\n

And despite election campaign concerns about affordability of mobile services, well over half a million new subscribers found mobile plans they felt they could afford.<\/p>\n

This is not to say that there aren’t some Canadians in disadvantaged households who need assistance participating in the digital economy, just as they need help meeting their day-to-day needs. Since the introduction of broadband services for low income households, there is evidence that it isn’t only an issue with pricing. What other factors are inhibiting adoption?<\/p>\n

As I wrote last week<\/a> (echoing earlier posts), we need to develop a better understanding of how to target service delivery to help promote a more connected Canada. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
