Is Canada the only country where the cost of mobile minutes is increasing? 
I just got this e-mail from telus informing me that the over-minutes rate (we don't have unlimited here like the US) is going up from $0.30 to $0.35.
I particularly like how they point out that they are commited to offering better value... and they will accomplish this by raising rates???<p>Here's the text of the e-mail- you'd think they could at least afford a mail merge to put my name in the subject also.
