See how many people we can get.. If you had used there services and canceled, you could tell the story. A dedicated "no money to Rogers" site. I would check everyday.

(MUST be pacific Protest). 5) Send a petition (in real papers, not just on a website) to Apple US and Canada against the selling of iPhones in Canada until Rogers releases new voice/data plans.

I've had the idea to type something up showing the costs of the plan over three years. I hope to have a first draft by tomorrow and then hopefully the community can revise a perfected one for Thursday we can all download and photocopy a couple times. I'll post the stuff up here but also on my website: martinlawrence.ca @Andre

Telecommunications rates are governed in part by the CRTC and it is their fault we have no True competition on telecom rates. What about your MP, MLA or MPP regarding Rogers' monopolistic/anticompetitive pricing structure. Yeah sure protesting and such will help but why not get some communication going. Has the ruinediphone.com campaign devised a PR model, who is official spokesperson, who is the human voice for this? Are you making contacts to media outlets on our behalf, if so what's been done, if not, what help do you need. Mounting a campaign of this sort, it is important to have a clear, singular voice from which our message can be spread. While I have criticised oilchange.com, I still think that they/you can lead this with the right tactics. Just keep us actual people informed. BTW: In many western nations calls are only single charged--that is outbound only and airtime isn't charged on inbound calls. Has anyone thought about contacting the CRTC?
