@reveh2109 while I agree with you and others that wish this was more generally available, I think PM are actually being very smart about this promo (though I hate to admit it). They're never going to make a significant impact to Rogers (nor Telus or Bell, of course), just given the enormity of that provider. However, Freedom is a much closer competitor and the more they can chip away at FM's subscriber base and revenue stream, the slower FM will be at expanding their network into something that can (eventually) actually compete with the awesome, mature Belus network that PM runs on. Other providers that you pointed out have caught wind of this attack and are also honing in. They're hoping to damage both FM and PM by matching. PM has little to gain by opening this up to Rogers, Telus, Bell subscribers. You could argue they could open it to other flanker brands like Fido and Virgin, but that's just going to again piss off the big guys and put a target on their back. FM is a much more realistic "target". And offering up the plan to existing customers would then present another loophole where people could port in to any in-market plan at PM and then schedule a plan change. So if they need to target FM specifically, and it's probably a good tactic at the moment, then they have to prevent current customers, sadly.
All the above is purely speculation and opinion.
