Carl Rogers Eliminating System Access Fee, Replacing with Government Regulatory Recovery Fee

Thu, Oct 29, 2009

Starting October 5, Rogers (NYSE: RCI) will be eliminating the long-hated “System Access Fee” for new subscribers, which totals around $6.95 every calendar month. The SAF will be replaced with what they’re calling the “Government Regulatory Recovery Fee”, which volition stove between $2.52 and $3.49 per occupation per mont, depending on provincial 911 fees. If that wasn’t good sufficiency, existing customers tin opt-in for the new retrieval fee and be rewarded with free Call Forwarding, Call Manager and WhoCalled services (worth $11 monthly total). Now, why would Carl Rogers do all of this? Maybe in the name of transparency, as some legislators are putt pressure on carriers to be more straightforward with Canadian consumers, and, in short, stop boning us with bogus fees. Although the variability of the fees does complicate things a little bit, it looks like in the remainder it will welfare subscribers, raise our low wireless incursion, and likely press Bell and Telus (New York Stock Exchange: TU) to return similar steps.
