Delay inconveniences Clearnet PCS customers

Article Abstract:

Clearnet Communications Inc. of Toronto, Ontario, causes inconvenience and higher costs to its customers because of the delayed startup of its automatic roaming service with two major US PCS operators. The company made strategic alliances with PrimeCo Personal Communications LP of Dallas, TX, and Sprint PCS of Kansas City to allow Clearnet customers to roam. Because of the deals, the company started advertising that its PCS customers would now be able to use automatic roaming in most big cities in the US. However, Clearnet customers who travel to the US now have to pay for manual or operator-assisted calls.

Bell unveils long-distance plan for companies

Article Abstract:

Bell Canada has launched an optional long-distance plan for small and medium-sized companies. The plan, called Advantage Per Call, will allow customers to place a 10-minute call anywhere in Canada for 35 cents, at any time any day of the week. A 10-minute call to the US would cost 50 cents. However, an 11-minute-long call will add another 35 cents to the 10-minute call given, or 50 cents for US calls. According to the company's president and chief operating officer, John MacDonald, the plan gives small business customers an alternative to existing long-distance plans.
