I would normally welcome the competition.

However, we’re talking about the Canadian Wireless Industry here.

It’s less about competition and more about GANG BANG.

I really really hope this is someone’s answering machine.

Complete Streets

Recommended read:

No one—not even cyclist or pedestrian advocates—ever questions whether we should include space for cars when we’re redesigning or constructing streets: accommodating private motor vehicle use in any road construction is a given. Yet the private automobile is the only method of transportation that is routinely given a bye past the first round of design; everything else has to be studied and justified or is relegated to the margins as an afterthought. Even the way that streets are designed and funded is stacked in favour of the car: design most frequently begins with vehicle lanes—how many and how wide—and then tries to squeeze all other users into whatever space remains. Sorry, we need four wide lanes for cars. But sidewalks? Benches? Bike lanes? Crosswalks? Those are frills and we can’t afford them. Some suggest that we’d arrive at a more equitable division of space if we designed from the edges in: start with sidewalks, buffers, and space for cyclists, and then squeeze cars into whatever space is left in the middle.

Unfortunately, the political climate in Toronto has been poisoned in recent months by a meaningless catchphrase: the war on the car. But to latch onto such huff- and puffery is to ignore the fact that some of the most desirable communities in the GTA, from Unionville to Port Credit, are built on complete streets. Only we don’t label them that way: instead we call them “small towns,” “historic,” and other code words for “really nice non-car-centric places to live where you can also drive if you want to.” Complete streets are about people and neighbourhoods and, yes, not planning public infrastructure exclusively around two-tonne mobile metal boxes.

This is Rogers’ new Local Calling Area for Toronto, effective Oct 15 of this year. Which means calling anyone on that red area is now long distance. 

Here’s a PDF of Toronto’s new Local Calling Areas and some more information about it.

Also, isn’t it great how at the same time, they reduce the system access fee ($6.95) while at the same other fees come into effect? Article source .

I really really hate rogers. Between HD cable, internet and the cellphone, I spend close to 200$ a month on these services. Its insane.
