Motorola SLVR L7
It's amazing how something so thin can still be so reassuringly sturdy. Motorola L7 is a mobile marvel sheared to a sophisticated 11.5 mm thickness. Yet its large 176x220 TFT display with 262K colors is a feast for the eyes. Take your entertainment with you on the new Motorola L7. Move to the groove and listen to your favorite MP3 music tracks. Make room for fresh material by storing music tracks, digital photos, video clips and more on removable memory cards. With Motorola L7 so easily slipped into a pocket or bag you'll never miss a chance to capture perfect moments, wherever they may happen. The fully integrated VGA digital camera and digital video make recording memories a snap. And BluetoothR technology makes sharing them with friends and family just as easy.

Telecom plan would ease entry of big foreign players
"OTTAWA -- A key federal panel's proposal to ease foreign ownership limits in the telecommunications industry would open the door for some of the world's largest players to expand into Canada.
Ottawa should implement a "phased liberalization" of foreign ownership rules for telecom players that are not broadcasters, the Telecommunications Policy Review Panel concluded yesterday.
The market-oriented report added, however, that the federal government should hang on to a public interest test that would allow Ottawa to quash any large equity deal.
But for companies that control less than 10 per cent of a given market, the report added, the government should assume any investment is in the public's interest unless there's evidence to suggest otherwise.
The three-member panel also called on the government to uphold foreign ownership limits for telecom companies that are also licensed as broadcasters, pending a suggested review of that sector. But the report said that once the broadcast review has been completed, Ottawa should usher in a second phase of liberalizing foreign ownership limits.
The recommendations on foreign ownership limits are just one of the panel's suggestions designed to modernize the telecom industry's regulations and make it more internationally competitive.
"Liberalization of the restrictions on foreign investment in Canadian telecommunications common carriers would increase the competitiveness of the telecommunications industry, improve the productivity of Canadian telecommunications markets, and be generally more consistent with Canada's open trade and investment policies," the report concluded.
The panel's recommendation could pave the way for the entry of foreign giants such as T-Mobile and Vodaphone, said Iain Grant, managing director of SeaBoard Group, a telecom consulting firm in Montreal.
"They have a presence in most of the major countries in the world, but they don't have a presence here," he said. "This opens the door."
Industry Minister Maxime Bernier said earlier this week that he's open to the idea of scrapping or reducing foreign ownership limits in the telecom sector. "I won't close the door because it's foreign ownership," he said during an interview.
Advocates of foreign ownership limits have argued that they mean more head offices on Canadian soil, more jobs, offer national security advantages and greater control over broadcasters' content. But the panel said a broadcast review should help resolve the two-pronged governance of the broadcasting industry's content and the telecom sector's carriage of that content.
For telephone companies, which fall under Industry Canada's jurisdiction, and the cable sector, which is in Heritage Canada's domain, foreigners can own a maximum of 20 per cent of an operating company and one-third of a holding company. That means an effective cap of 46.7 per cent.
Mr. Grant said he's skeptical that foreign companies will have much interest in the Canadian sector because costs are high and consumer prices are low. "If you're looking for a place to invest, Canada wouldn't be your first [choice]." Mr. Grant and other analysts have said that the Canadian telecom sector had more need for foreign capital in the late 1990s when the services market was experiencing a dramatic expansion.
Canadian telecom services companies such as BCE Inc., which owns Bell Canada, and Telus Corp. have said in recent weeks that they support an easing or lifting of the foreign ownership rules. But the restrictions have been particularly thorny for the cable companies, which argue that they have particularly burdensome capital costs.
Many analysts say some of the cable companies may also be interested in fewer ownership restrictions because they may want to sell and would prefer more potential suitors. "

well until last november, i was on contract with them anyways cos of one of my previous jobs which needed the 2way phones.
but i find i get the best reception compared to anyone i know with rogers or fido...usually i have the most bars..so i figure im gonna stick with it.
yea the phones arent razor thin or anything but these phones are mighty durable...can take such a beating and still work.
my last phone broke in 2, i got the second half of it a few days later , plugged it in and used the phone with my headset for the next few days until i accidentally clipped the screen ribbon.. |
