“Prices in the Canadian wireless market … continue to be the highest or among the highest in the world,” reads the latest international comparison of mobile data rates by Rewheel, a Helsinki-based telecom research firm.
Rewheel also noted that owning a Canadian cellphone is roughly 13 times more expensive than owning a French one.
As early as 2013, an OECD analysis of mobile rates found that Canada ranked near the bottom for virtually every category of wireless plan, particularly when it came to mobile data. That same report also found that Canada was one of the world’s most profitable countries in which to run a wireless telecommunications company.
Among defenders of Canada’s high cellphone rates, one of the chief arguments is that the country’s size and decentralization inherently make cell service more expensive. Rewheel, however, has written that Canadian operators maintain far fewer cell towers per customer than those in the much cheaper Finnish market.
