Don't let Rogers or Bell slow me down!
I don't want to see our country take a massive leap backwards with the deployment of LTE wireless technology on Rogers or Bell. I want to see actual real life every man Canadians from coast to coast and in cities, towns and rural areas have access to this technology unencumbered by Rogers or Bell.

Therefore, I respectfully urge you to allow free and open access to the 700-megahertz spectrum by allowing all companies to participate in the upcoming auction. Excluding any major incumbent provider like Rogers or Bell that has all ready slowed down Canadian innovation, damaging our growing and vital digital economy. Worse yet, it would adversely impact Canadian consumers like me and the nine million Canadians who rely on Rogers for wireless services.

LTE will not offer us access to truly revolutionary wireless experiences under the sole auspices of Rogers or Bell, The market needs to be opened to more competition so that it can be enriching our lives and growing our economy. Having an open auction will unleash the power of Canadian innovation; a closed auction will erect barriers to national growth. But only if its open to newcomers that do not include Rogers or Bell.

For these reasons, I ask you to support a fair and open auction for the 700 spectrum. It’s best for our economy. It’s best for Canada. Do whats best for Canadians not whats best for the major incumbent media giants.
