LOVE IT! The big three (Bell, Telus, Rogers) got hit with 2 billion dollars in stock devaluation today alone!

I'm out baby!!!

that's fantastic! I wondered when they would finally be allowed in! Looks like more choice for us Canucks!!! Here's hoping they forego apple though. WinMo would be a much better choice.
BTW No bias at all

I just hope they will last! I hate the big 3 as much as the next guy here in Canada and the oligopolistic hold they have over the wireless telecom market (and cable/sat for that matter!!!).

I foresee the big 3 trying to undercut the new guy and either driving them out of business, or to a point where one of them can buy them out! Who has the bigger / deeper pockets??? I realize Globalive has some hefty investors, but who's to say they won't look to make a quick profit should one of the big 3 try and buy / squash Globalive
