[ Continued from Part 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 ] In early 2001, my grandfather wanted to show my generation his birthplace while he was still healthy enough to do so, and so much of my extended family travelled together to Istanbul. When I got off the plane, I heard Morse code all around me. Having learned Morse code off the sticker listing it on the front of a Fisher Price walkie talkie as a kid, I recognised the letters everywhere as ‘SMS’ and soon learned that everyone else in the world was already using these “simple messaging system” texts that had not yet really arrived in Canada.
I would go for that if we could count on the government to charge us reasonable rates...we are now paying some of the highest rates in the world.
Interesting....should the the Government allow Verizon in to break up the oligopoly? We would get better service and rates...or do you see a danger?
