strike while the iron is hot
This has been a very interesting form in your attempts to get Rogers to cave into demands to provide the newest OS for the Android phones.
I support all that everyone has done to apply pressure to Rogers.
Unfortunatly, all your efforts may fall on deaf ears, I hope they dont, but history shows that it will.
But some of you may not agree, but I strongly suggest that you direct just as many comments towards the CRTC. For every one comment you make directly to Rogers and HTC, make two towards the CRTC.
Currently the CRTC is frustrated by the recent squables in the TV/broadcasters wars, which has drawn the average Canadian consumer into the middle. A matter which should not have brought the consumer into the mix. So strike one, the CRTC is not please with these guys, and they include Rogers, same Copr operation, just a different operating business line.
Now we have the Gov of Canada who recently overuled the CRTC and agreed to allow another cell phone provider to enter the Canadian market. Why do you think that is? We have a small market but pay the highest per cell phone rate in the world, and get some of the worst support and technology up dates. And yes I know this as a fact from my extensive travel around the globe. Do you think the Gov of Canada and the CRTC have had enough of these guys? YES I DO.
And now is the time, from the information that this forum has compiled to move with a striking blow towards the CRTC and Members of Parliment. Politicians dont like discomfort, as it causes them a possible loss of votes.
So although you may not agree by getting your local MP and CRTC involved, political pressure does go a long way in making these large multi national firms to comply.
keep up the good work, and DONT stop the pressure on any of the wireless companies. Rogers is in good company with Telus and Bell.
FYI - funny how monopolies are not allowed in Canadian business, but yet we see these companies with almost the same operating principals, policies and business models. Do you think they are having regular back room meetings? do you think their respective CEO's attend the same clubs, eat at the same establishments? Yeah you bet that happens!
