Dear Bob Rae,

I have recently become aware that government initiative to create a cellphone rate calculator has been dropped in favour of the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association.

Canada has some of the highest cellphone rates compared to the rest of the world. A tool like this is not only convenient for customers, but is also a necessity to help bring down the price of our over inflated wireless rates.

Too often are the large telecoms favoured over the general public and this type of favouritism needs to stop. It is difficult enough as it is since there are very few providers and they keep a monopoly on the industry.

This tool needs to be made public and not swept under the rug. The telecommunication industry needs to know that they need to provide a better service for a lower price and not get a free pass on everything.

I look forward to your reply in the near future.

Sincerely yours,
Bryan Smith
