Who's The "Best" Carrier In North America?
Who is the best carrier in N.A? According to N. Moore Capital Ltd. TELUS Mobility of Canada takes the prize, finishing nine points ahead of Verizon Wireless. The N. Moore Capital rankings are based on 5 financial and performance metrics, and while the methodology is subjective, it is without bias. Verizon's #1 finish in the US was closely followed by Nextel. While two of the top five out of the 22 considered were Canadian, perhaps this is the result of a market with four carriers. I've maintained for a long time that a market with seven carriers faces excessive costs, the benefits of which aren't matched by the marginal increases in competition.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
