Canadian Industry Minister Tony Clement scrapped a taxpayer-funded online tool that helps consumers compare cellphone plans. Allegedly this happened after lobbying by the wireless industry. The tool was apparently shelved just weeks before roll-out after government officials met with representatives from the mobile phone lobby. Michael Geist weighed in on his blog on Monday.
Some enterprising individual posted a glimpse of said tool (be sure to view it full screen to read it). Wonder how long before it's pulled down?
[Update] Ernest alerted me to a story about how the UK have their own mobile rate calculator, that includes data plans as well.
Thanks Ernest.
