now this would be bad...

Could it be that iPhones won't be coming to Canada soon? CBC reports news of the iPhone in Canada is "speculative," because Rogers -- the only company that has the GSM line capability that the iPhone uses -- may choose to hold off either to see how the phone does in the US market or until its existing contracts with Motorola or Sony-Ericsson expire. Yet another reason why Canada's cell phone consumers, already burdened by the highest cellphone fees of any developed country, are punished by a regulatory model that encourages little competition. So the iPhone might be like Turner Classic Movies -- we'll have to wait forever to get it.

More on TCM coming in future posts, along with a commentary on the Juno/Amazing Race fiasco.
