Windmobile certainly has presented recently a good arguement for regreting their investment. As long as a form of government protectionism exists for the big three , competition will never bring prices down. The CRTC's recent back track on allowing charge costs on sold data plans ceratinly will keep some players in the market but to the user, plan costs of $70 and more on three year contracts is reducing sales. It will only be a matter of time before the market will become stagnant.
