The Latest in IT Security

By Randall Palmer OTTAWA (Reuters) – Changes allowing Canadian wireless phone customers to cancel their contracts without penalty after two years have increased the costs of basic plans, while the price of heavy-use plans continued to fall, a study to be released on Monday showed. The price of mobile services has become a hot political issue, with the Conservative government trying to drive prices down by encouraging smaller companies to challenge the dominance of the Big Three: BCE Inc’s Bell, Rogers Communications Inc and Telus Corp. Regulators brought in the change as of December 2013, putting an effective end to three-year contracts and aiming to stimulate competition by letting people switch carriers. The government-commissioned Wall Report showed the monthly charge for basic mobile wireless service rose to C$36 ($34) in 2014 from C$31 in 2013, and C$34 in 2010.
