The French competition council has ordered the iPhone be opened up to other French carriers (Google-translated), breaking the exclusivity deal with Orange (France Telecom). The complaint was filed by France's third largest operator Bouygues Telecom who said that the deal violated local competition laws. Though the ruling [fr] is temporary whilst the issue is investigated further, the ruling did state that the arrangement reduced the effects of price competition, network quality and customer service.

Good luck getting rid of those reactionaries. Those folks will do whatever it takes to drag down Canada along with the American empire.
I saw this y.tube video somewhere in which (IIRC) Harper had this speech that was exactly the same (I mean, verbatim) as another speech by the Australian PM. Those people have this neocon network or something where they coordinate stuff, IAC they're clearly not thinking for themselves.
