It would depend on the tower and the technology but I have heard one tower can hold 10's of thousands of phone calls. The chances, especially in Canada, that you get a network busy is pretty slim and is more likely to happen with GSM.

Spoiled? We now know who pays your salary!

You do? Who?
But honestly it has nothing to do with who pays my salary, it has to do with the facts!

They're choosing to make the consumer pay less to get the phone and pay more for our plans. They could easily make us pay more for the phone and then they wouldn't have to boost the monthly rate as much.... but of course then it'd be a barrier to get us into the market to start with. Pick your poison.

So the carrier holds a guy to your head and tells you to sign that long contract? I don't think so, I hate that mentallity that the phone companies MAKE anyone do anything. They provide a service and you CHOOSE to use it at the cost they see fit. If you think those prices are unfair then don't pay them and wait til the market changes.
The prices Canadian carriers is actually pretty fair when you compare it to the rest of the world you just have to be smart as a consumer to find the right deal.
Who has the best rate plans in the world and what do they charge? What is their client base compared to a Canadian company?
You look down in the States even at the largest carrier there is Verizon who has over 67,000,000 customers when the largest carier in Canada is Rogers with a customer base of only 7,500,000 (11% of the consumer base of Verizon). So now tell me who you think can afford to give their customers a better rate?
Its like going to a mom and pops corner store and complaing they charge more for chips than Costco does.
Seriously....find me the best deal you can in the world!
