Canada’s cellphone rates among highest

We have a monopoly over GSM service here in Canada and it’s very frustrating.  Rogers charges a lot for domestic service but it pales in comparison to their roaming charges.  $1.50/minute call time?  Really?  Even though work has no issues paying roaming when I travel I don’t do it on principle because I don’t want to say what they’re doing is OK.

Data roaming charges are similarly insane.  Loading a webpage on an iPhone could cost you a few dollars.
