Really? I did not realize they had the ability. Glad to see the change. When I travel now I always buy a local SIM card from a "virtual network operator" instead of paying for international roaming.
I'm not well versed on the issue, but the impression I get is that the CRTC has, until now, declined to license "MVNO" companies to operate in Canada because Bell/Telus/Rogers have lobbied CRTC reviews with arguments based around the costs of building infrastructure and so-on. If Mr Geist is correct in interpreting Minister Bains' directive, that's going to change.
