How to make Canada's Phone carriers better in a way to tell the whole story? Broadband Facts! 🤔

I was just scrolling on Mint Mobile's plans and saw "Broadband Facts" and I am like "No Way, Ryan Reynolds (The creator of Mint Mobile) made this joke!" And I looked up on Visible next searching at plans and there I see another - then looked at T-Mobile, and there it was - Broadband facts! I googled it up and lo and behold - the FCC requires carriers to show all of what they are getting.

It was crazy seeing something like Nutrition Facts on a phone plan!!!

And that would also make Canada's phone sector somewhat spread apart.

And if you don't believe me yet... here are screenshots:

hi @fixin1 the population in Canada does not allow for more competition and better pricing. CRTC had given out more licenses before and none of the new player survived

@hTideGnow - Yeah, that is unfortunate.

I mean like having a Nutrition facts Label on phone plans.
