and to support my point

The Globe reports that cellphone usage in Canada lags behind all the developed world in this article:

"Just 56 per cent of Canadians have a mobile phone, compared with an average of about 90 per cent in the rest of the developed world."

"The average cellphone bill is one-third more in Canada than in the United States, and although the price gap is closing, it continues to hinder the adoption of wireless communications in this country"

"the country's adoption rate for cellphones puts it on par with Tunisia (average per capita income of $8,600 U.S.) and slightly behind Turkey"

Hooray corporate Canada!
