Sask. cell bills so low they fuel black market in rest of Canada: advocate Feb 17, 2017 4:04 PM

An advocacy group for affordable cell and internet services is warning Saskatchewan customers about the risks of a potential SaskTel Sale.

The caution comes after Bell Canada received federal approval this week for its takeover of Manitoba Telecom Services (MTS).

OpenMedia’s David Christopher said Manitoba and Saskatchewan have enjoyed the country’s cheapest cell services – thanks to their regional carriers.

“You’re not talking five, 10 or even 20 bucks a month. You’re talking much larger than that,” he said.
