New report claims Canadian wireless costs below OECD average

Over the years, it has become an article of faith among Canadians that this country had some of the most expensive wireless voice and data rates in the world. This belief was confirmed by two reports in the last two years: a 2009 OECD report which ranked Canada as the third-most expensive OECD country with respect to medium mobile phone usage; and a Fall 2010 report from The New America Foundation, a Washington based public policy institute, which concluded that Canada had some of the most expensive voice and data rates among eleven major countries.
