Why Canada's WiFi Plans Don't Make Sense
Oh, Canada. While they got some attention this week for finally setting up a WiFi roaming system between Rogers, Telus and Bell Mobility, some are pointing out that none of it really matters as long as the prices are so high. It still seems that companies haven't figured out that the value proposition for most users of WiFi isn't so high that they're willing to pay $10/hour for it, or almost any kind of subscription fee if they're just going to use it every once in a while.
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.
–The Techdirt Team
