In response to popular demand, the folks at Scotia Capital have authorized me to post their recent Canadian Wireless Myths and Facts report on this blog.
If you would like to challenge a Bay Street analyst on the numbers, please go ahead. As my friend at Scotia Capital says, he is challenged on his numbers every day.

Canadian Wireless Myths and Facts 06Mar2013 by Scotia Capital
Over the past few years I have studied a number of international wireless pricing studies such as the OECD Telecommunications Outlook, Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Wireless Matrix, CRTC Telecommunications Monitoring Report, and Nordicity International Wireless Market Comparison so I know that Jeff Fan definitely got it right.

I would certainly not challenge a Bay Street Analyst on the numbers.
I will leave it up to Michael Geist, the Canada Research Chair of Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa.
