Canadians Pay Extra For Their Wireless Hardware

Posted by timothy on from the y'know-value-added-and-all dept.

Todd Alivoy writes "Looks like Canadian wireless subscribers have been getting hosed when looking to get new hardware. This isn't the first time Canadian carriers have managed to charge far more than thier US conterparts for the same services. Anyone up there know why? It sure isn't the exchange rates." The linked article shows the price disparity for 14 phones available in both markets.

    I don't know what you mean by subscribers, but ham equipment is still a little bit expensive no matter where you're at.
