NDP Starts Petition To Stop Bell And Telus From Charging For Incoming Text Messages

It seems that the NDP (as usual) has stepped up to the plate with a petition to stop Telus and Bell from charging for incoming text messages (as I wrote about previously):

“With everyday Canadians already paying more for wireless phone services than subscribers in the US and Europe, an additional fee on incoming text messages – including spam and unwanted messages – is unfair.”

I wonder how many more of these will pop up in the next few days? The more of these appear, the more likely that Bell and Telus will fold like cheap suits.

Thanks to “Julien” for bringing this to my attention.

There is another petition where 13394 people signed already

Canadian consumers pay on average 33% more for cell phone use than American consumers;

THEREFORE, your petitioners call upon the government to support Bill C-555 at all stages in Parliament as quickly as possible.
