has been attracting a lot of attention with close to 30,000 angry citizens signing the online petition expressing their outrage over the usurious Rogers/Fido voice and data plans for the iPhone in Canada.

Stephen Fry recently gave a speech on behalf of the BBC and he has reproduced it for his podcast as Episode 4: Broadcasting.

We knew it was coming, we knew they were gonna try and sugar-coat it and we […]

It’s official.
