I’ve had enough of hearing absolutely nothing from Canada in a mobile context.
The only memorable thing I can tell you about is RIM. And Rogers executives who knew nothing about mobile (this was, admittedly, a few years ago, I trust the situation has changed). And the enterprising chaps at Bell who introduced unlimited data recently (see our HTC Touch/Bell Unlimited Data experience).
Not good enough, eh? No! I know there’s a lot of good stuff happening in the country. We’ve had a lot of email in from readers suggesting companies to shine the SMS Text News light upon. Very encouraging.
As a result, our very own Krystal (an Ontario native) has started work on Focus on Canada. I want to start by looking at the country’s mobile aggregators. First up you can look forward to an array of profiles and then some interviews with leading executives making things happen in the industry. We’ll begin next week. Standby!
If you have some recommendations for who we should speak to, do let me know (ewan@smstextnews.com).
