It's a shame though, because was a pionneer in the industry in Canada. First with GSM. Singlehandedly responsible for the affordability of cell phones in this country. If they were still on their own, they'd probably have BB plans priced to blow the socks off the other carrires. OTOH, the merging with Rogers gives a truly solid GSM network in Canada.
