Re: I wonder 2 major reasons
1. All the telco based Canadian wireless carriers (Bell Mobility, Teluls, MTS, Sasktel, etc.) are ALL going from CDMA 2000 (1x/EVDO) to HSPA+ this month. Rogers has to keep up, or disappear.
2. The Olympics are coming to Canada this winter. Bell/Telus are deploying HSPA+ primarily to cash in on roaming revenue (and they are hitting EOL for CDMA 2000 product line). Rogers will have GSM+HSPA+, and attempt to obtain as much roaming revenue as possible for both voice+data. -- Canada = Hollywood North |
