After spending tens of thousands of dollars creating and testing an online calculator designed to help consumers select their ideal wireless plan, Industry Minister Tony Clement killed the project weeks before it was scheduled to launch. Government records suggest intense lobbying this spring by Canada’s wireless companies, who feared the service would promote lower cost plans, played a key role in the decision.

Really disappointing. Apparently the system was finished and ready to roll out. It would have been a good tool for consumers such as myself to see what the best value cell plans were. Why is the minister standing up for shareholders of wireless telecoms above consumers?
