The solution to this should be pretty simple; charge people in cities less. This may inconvenience some people, but if you want to use the land-mass argument, you're paying extra for a service because it's more difficult to get to you. It's not difficult to supply coverage in Vancouver, Calgary, or Montreal; and there's a far larger population base to draw from. So why then do I have to pay the same rate as someone who lives out in the sticks? If it's a pain in the ass to provide coverage out there, charge more for rural plans. Seems simple enough to me.

This.
Although that's pretty much what Wind does. Cheap plans for cities and rural roaming. Works for me.
