Why the larger Mobile Service Providers in Canada Should Have an Inexpensive Data Plan

In Canada, we can buy groceries, go drinking and buy all sorts of products and services using our bank or debit cards. We are certainly ahead of the US in this area it seems to me and the debit card convenience is something we take for granted.
