Canada is the largest land mass in the world with the smallest population density, so we pay through the teeth for our network access ... We have a larger national network area than the US, but only 1/10th as many subscribers...
Our providers are all switching to fiber now, but they estimate that they will not make bac the money they invested in first generation digital wireless until about 2016.
Our rates are insanely high compared to US and EU plans ...
But we have free health care .... and MAPLE SYRUP!! :D
