For those who are not from Toronto or don’t know who Ted Rogers is…..he’s kind of a Canadian version of Ted Turner. A really wealthy guy who started out a long time ago with a cable company — Rogers Cable — grew that, then moved into other areas such as ISP, Wireless, Video Rentals and I’m sure other things.

Rogers’s companies, such as Roger’s Cable are known for their regular price increases. Most recently they gained infamy as the sole provider of the iPhone in Canada, and cell phone plans with monopolistic prices to boot!
