Federal Industry Minister Jim Prentice has publicly criticized Telus and Bell for their plans to charge customers for incoming text messages in July but has done nothing to stop them yet.
Prentice has said he fears incoming text charges may penalize consumers by making them pay for unsolicited and unwanted messages. He also noted the European Union is moving to implement regulations for text message fees. Telus has said that growth in the popularity of text messages has put a strain on their networks, forcing it to start charging for the service. But industry observers question the explanation. That's because the so-called short messaging service protocol was conceived long before high-speed mobile networks allowed subscribers to send photos or download video to their mobile phones. inspired by: http://www.thestar.com/Ne... Will the fees be regulated in Canada by 2009?
