The Saskatchewan court has certified a class-action lawsuit that accuses Canadian cellphone companies of profiting from charging customers system access fees (CAD$6.95/month) over and above their regular service costs.
The suit, targets an estimated $12 billion (plus interest) in customer charges collected over the years could possibly the country's largest-ever class action. This has affected at least half of the Canadian populations (all cell phone users in Canada).
Rogers Wireless, one of the largest carriers in Canada said it would appeal the certification. With $12B on the line, it doesn't look like the carriers will be back down without a fight. However, we do look forward to getting away from the mobile dark age.
