OpenMedia.ca petition for a 700MHz auction set-aside

[pjw918]

Please take a moment to sign the online OpenMedia.ca "Stop the Squeeze" petition requesting that the government have a set-aside for the new entrants in the 700MHz spectrum auction.

Covered in the CBC article Petition aims to end cellphone monopoly, Jan 13 -

"A grassroots group has launched an online petition urging Canadians to speak out against domination of the cell phone market by the country's big three wireless companies – Rogers Communications Inc., BCE Inc. and Telus Corp...

OpenMedia.ca plans to present the petition to Industry Minister Christian Paradis and Prime Minister Stephen Harper. It is the same group that was behind the half a million strong Stop The Meter campaign protesting usage-based billing and the Stop Online Spying campaign, which is credited with preventing bills allowing electronic surveillance from being tied into the government's omnibus crime bill"

Good post. Make sure you post it up on G+, Facebook, and Twitter!

I noticed you posted this in the Wind and the Mobi forums. What about Public Mobile?
Being a smaller provider, this could affect them as well.

I'd love to post it in the Rogers forum as well just to see the reactions....
However, I'd probably get banned for it, so not a good idea.

How could you get banned? It's relevant to their interests. I did it anyways for the lulz
