SMS Charges Here To Stay (So Far)

Remember that bit about Telus and Bell? The one where the two providers were going to start charging for SMS? You can imagine that consumers reacted with a collective groan when they heard the news. Well, what do the powers-that-be have to say about the matter? Here's one from Jim Prentice, Canada's Minister of Industry:

...now says he "would encourage consumers dissatisfied with existing plans to seek alternatives" after being assured by both Bell and Telus that customers charged for spam texts would be able to get the charges removed.

It's actually not the worst thing to say, but it isn't exactly what consumers are hoping for. I'm beginning to wonder if spin doctors are in short supply in Canada.
