i work for a large Candian Telecom. ..i can assure you .. It does not cost more to move a data stream in Canada then it does in the USA. The price ecart is big business ripping off Canadians .. That is truth of the matter !
More or less true. When factoring the cost of tower upkeep and network infrastructure (number of head ends, WICs and enclosures, etc.), geography does create additional expenses for telecom companies, but not to this extent. Rogers is still making obscene profits, rest assured.
