Your Cell Bill Will Drop 25%

This is the kind of news that feels like it should happen leading up to an election!
You can read the Government’s news release here, but the most important sentence might be, “…the Government of Canada is offering Canadian consumers more affordable options by helping to reduce the cost of mid-range wireless services by 25 percent and further increasing competition.”
Just as imporant, “For cellphone plans that offer 2 GB to 6 GB of data, the three big national carriers—Bell Canada, Rogers Communications Canada and Telus Communications—are expected to lower their prices by 25 percent in the next two years.”

I’m still going to threaten to move to another carrier to negotiate a lower rate, though. 🙂
