Tom Purves has done a great comparison of the data rates in Canada compared with the rest of the world. The CRTC has a done a horrible job with mobile services and data service in particular.
The mobile internet was intended to be the great equalizer since many people don’t have access to a computer + internet connection. At this rate the mobile internet is going to be another technology divide…
I just got a data plan on my mobile. I pretty much do not need my computer anymore since I do so much with my mobile phone. The neatest thing is that I can even watch naughty movies:) It is pretty neat, it’s called Mobile TV. All I do is point my phone to sexoncell.com and they have adult mobile movies in different formats like 3gp movies, symbian, pda or whatever. If you have any other cool sites, please let me know! This one, though, even has a free daily mobile movie.
