I'm not saying it would be a good thing, but it could happen. It might be an entertaining thing to watch from a distance.

You don't want Xplornet to get any bigger - they are a rolling dumpster fire in many different ways. I think more competition is a good thing, yet I'd prefer Xplornet went out of business altogether. Or at least nowhere near here. Thankfully, Starlink will probably accomplish this. -Adam

To whom? Xplornet. They picked up a piece of the MTS customer base when Bell bought them. They haven't done a lot with that yet but there are a couple of stores in Manitoba, and Xplornet is a national company. They would have to make a bid to pick up any divested customers if/when that time comes but they were successful last time.

Some time ago, the federal government believed that Canadian cell phone rates were too high because of lack of competition, and worked to get new outfits like WIND Mobile into the market. None survive. WIND died down and is now Shaw's Freedom Mobile, which could get folded into Rogers/Fido/Chatr. Maybe the CRTC will decide that the big 3 shouldn't own all the spectrum, and force Rogers to divest Freedom/Shaw Mobile. But to who? SaskTel? Richard Branson? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roundtable mailing list Roundtable@muug.ca https://muug.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roundtable mailing list Roundtable@muug.ca https://muug.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable-- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
