The actual cost of 1GB data transfer is about $0.02. Bell and Rogers will charge you $1-$2 per GB raking in huge profits and stifling innovation.

I agree with the 100% look at canada's cell phone plan rates compared to the us and Europe. We are getting overcharged for the same service. A basic cell phone plan with data starts around 80 dollars a month thats with 350 daytime mins unlimited evening/weekend , and 500 mb of data. just checking verizon website you can get unlimited calling and unlimited data for 20 dollars more.
I am willing to give a little credit to canadian suppliers because don't get nearly as many dropped calls. Its still unfair
