According to a tweet from Greg O’Brien<\/a>, CBC led off its coverage of the foreign ownership consultations with:<\/p>\n

Everyone knows Canadians pay the highest rates in the world for cell phones<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The budget cuts that forced the people’s network to sell off the chairs in the TV news studio might have reduced CBC’s research budget to the point that it just recycles populist drivel, without bothering to check facts. It couldn’t be that the news anchor was expressing an opinion, could it?<\/p>\n

Maybe the CBC anchor was trying to demonstrate clearly why \u00a0we need an alternative news voice, such as the proposal for Sun TV News<\/a>. But, that is another story.<\/p>\n

Well, let’s see if the conventional media (or other commentators)\u00a0take a look at a new report from BMO<\/a> that says Canadians enjoy cheaper mobile data prices than our friends south of the border.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, we highlight that Canadian postpaid data pricing is cheaper relative to AT&T for light and extremely heavy users. Given the competitive dynamics in Canada, we expect this trend to continue into 2011 as Canadian carriers focus on driving adoption of wireless data.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I found the last part of this to be the most significant. BMO expects this trend to continue into next year, as Canadian carriers focus on driving adoption of wireless data.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see how many people\u00a0will review\u00a0a report that contradicts the populist perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
