In an effort to gather public support, Telus has launched their own campaign against Verizon, reports iphoneincanada.com. The campaign will be in the form of a website named as canadaplayfair.com. The purpose of this website campaign is to allow the visitors to sign and submit a petition to industry Minister James Moore so the Canadian wireless market can provide equal and fair opportunities, the source further claimed.
Filing a petition is very simple. Users will be asked to read a pre written message for Moore before clicking the Send button. On the website, visitors can find numerous links and articles supporting the cause. Telus claims Canadian wireless market minister Moore needs to provide a level playing field to all participants in the upcoming 700 Mhz auction that is scheduled to take place in the second week of January next year. Telus teamed up with Bell and Rogers (the other two giants of Canadian wireless market) earlier at Fairforcanada.com but this time around their website does not talk about other carriers.
“The site includes numerous quotes and links to articles (which also includes a tweet from a previous iPhoneinCanada story) arguing Verizon should be on a level playing field with incumbents at the upcoming 700MHz auction set to take place in January 2014. Unlike FairforCanada.ca, which TELUS teamed up with Rogers and Bell to create, this latest advocate site does not mention other carriers” iphoneincanada.com reported.
Sources have also confirmed that Telus has published an editorial on Techvibes against Verizon, where they call for a fair and level playing field for all wireless carrier companies.
“I’m often asked – what does this really mean for Canadians? Lower prices? Better networks? More competition? Everyone has a different opinion, but I’m inclined to say that there are no guarantees for Canadians if Verizon comes north of the border, especially if the government entices them in with special taxpayer-funded gifts. First things first – TELUS welcomes competition, whether from Verizon or any other domestic or foreign wireless company. We agree that healthy competition is good for Canadians. All we are seeking is a level playing field, and asking our government not to give a giant foreign company artificial advantages over home-grown companies like TELUS. We are asking our government for a level playing field that provides us with equal opportunities and fair regulations for all players”, said Telus Senior communication manager Donna Ramirez.
