Bell and Telus to Begin Selling iPhone in Canada Next Month?

Bell Canada and Telus Corp will begin selling the iPhone next month finally ending Roger's monopoly on the device, according to the Globe and Mail.

Bell announced on Monday that it will launch in November, months ahead of schedule, the next-generation wireless network it has been building with Telus.


People familiar with the matter said the two carriers will announce a working partnership with Apple as early as Tuesday or Wednesday and begin selling the device in time for the launch of their new network next month.

Rogers is currently the only carrier in Canada to support GSM phones. This has led the company to abuse their position and customers, leaving Canadians with the third highest cellphone rates in the world.

Hopefully the launch of the joint Bell and Telus network, along with the upcoming launch of WindMobile will drive prices down.
