Good for Rogers
Good for Microcell
Not so good for consumers.
It effects service quality, if anyone here is with Rogers, you know what I am talking about... it will push back numbers portability by another couple of years. Microcell was giving Rogers and all the others a really hard time. Too bad they are out of of the market. |

I remember when I was younger and didn't have credit or anything, and none of the bigger providers would give me a cell phone, except Fido.
One less competitor on the market, usually not the best news for consumers.
I guess will have to wait and see what happens. |

the most innovative and fierce competitor of them all has been bought out. :(
it was bound to happen because of their cité fido packages that infuriated the big 3...
the FIDO name will stay tho, they'll use the Rogers networks. I hope they keep the FIDO packages too because Rogers is a rip off! |

exactly man .. Fido has always come up with more innovative services and a much more competitive pricing plan that its competitors. as the smallest carrier it has the least amount of capital to invest in its network. if only it had more money or if the CDN government allowed greater foreign ownership in the telcos Fido would seriously give the bigger 3 a run for their money..
some of you Rogers and Telus users might be rejoicing by this news.. but in the end IMHO i think it'll just be bad for everyone..
