I do. Short of giving you my home address and phone number, I'll tell you the same thing I've posted on the website itself and here on ehMac.

My name is Russell Gordon. I'm a former software developer of four years, now a high school teacher of two years living in the GTA area. I've had a general interest in picking up an iPhone, probably would have if the rates compared well with international providers, especially AT&T in the United States, since they're our closest neighbour. At this point in time, I definitely won't be picking up an iPhone.

It's not the prices that are so bad, it's the value for money, in my personal opinion.

I've paid for the server and domain name out of my own pocket and I won't be asking anyone for donations to cover bandwidth costs.

If you think the site does a good job of highlighting how bad the Rogers plans are, please spread the link. If you think something could be explained better, please let me know via the email links on the site. I am very much interested in citing the source of all the information I present and explaining how I arrived at any conclusions given.

All the best...

P.S.: By taking the time to put together the "facts" website I am also hoping to draw attention to the fact that all Canadians pay much more on average than Americans for cell phone service. Please consider supporting Bill C-555 -- link is here:

Petition - C-555 Get Connected Fairly Act

Um, thanks. I didn't think someone would actually answer that here! Good luck with your endeavour.

Oil change.com? I clicked the link thinking I could find some Mr. Lube coupons that I could print off, but found some web company. It would have been funny to see Rogers Lube coupons that are only valid for use on July 11.

LMAO AT THE GUY WITH THE RUINEDIPHONE.COM SHIRT!

But that's pretty cool, that it's on Global News.

Many thanks to you, ct77.

It's wonderful that someone is making an effort to change the cell phone landscape in Canada. We've been hosed for so long in this country that folks get excited when someone like Robbers throws them a crumb.

I love my country but we're fast becoming a technological backwater.

Yes, thanks also ct77 for this site.

I would say that Canada is falling behind with competitiveness, and we need to do what we can to get both government and corporations to realize this.

Just read the objectives and goals in the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada site

Connecting Canada to the World: Connecting Canada to the World

For example, we are not meeting up to DFAIT's strategic objective 5 - "Forging an Innovative Organization: Linking People, Priorities and Partners" - specifically "Effective Management and Use of Information and Technology", within the context of, "Revolution in global communications- new digital culture - internet, satellite TV, 24/7 expectations."

And this is worth risking because the Feds/CRTC and companies like Rogers can't get there act together and offer a $30 unlimited data plan so that Canadians are connected to the world!!

Simply unacceptable.
