Telus owns Koodo. Not sure if you knew this or not from your post because of the big brother Telus comment (do you mean big brother as in scary government style or big brother as in ownership style?)

It's true though, I'm sorry. I wanted a new alternative. But the scoop is that there really are only 3 companies right now for cell phone service (at least I believe this is true for Alberta).

A buddy of mine works in Telus. He explained to me that they introduced Koodo as a means to get Rogers customers who had lost faith in the Telus brand name.

edit:

Another rumour is that Bell is about to be purchased by Telus... but that's definitely just a rumour for now I think.
