A market equilibrium is reached and it’s called anti-competitive behaviour. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

I suppose the state could implement price controls and force Rogers et al to lower their prices. That worked well in the past!

What has worked in other countries, namely Australia, is MVNOs. The government is considering mandating telecom companies to give MVNOs access to their network, like they mandate cable and internet companies, but it is unlikely such a decision would be made anytime soon. Australia is truly a success story. I wouldn't mind if Canada's telecom landscape becomes more similar to Australia's.

Market equilibrium !== collusion and it's difficult to tell them apart.

Canadian telecoms are not colluding.
