Direct competition to Wind, Mobilicity, and Public Mobile... A good move on their part, separating thier brands in 3 tiers with Rogers Wireless being top, Fido in the middle, and Chatr on the bottom.
And also given that most of their customers are moving to 3G UMTS network their other GPRS/EDGE network isn't getting much traffic so its perfect for all that extra space to be used with Chatr.
Good for Rogers bad for the 3 new comers.
I'm curious to see what the plans will look like. One advantage they have over the other newcomers is that their network is already established. I'm wondering if their service will be limited to major cities where Wind, etc. are offering service right now, and kind of the way CityFido used to be. Apparently they won't be offering data, so they'll be catering to those who just talk and text. I'm kind of rooting for Wind/Mobilicity/Public Mobile - it'd be nice to have some true competition in Canada since the Robellus are really just about the same.
