That's about time. 3-year contracts are a ripoff, especially since a device is really outdated even after 2 years, much less 3 years.

You know how the carriers are going to respond?

HIGHER PRICES.

But, good news for them anyway. Now, for the Canadian government to limit contracts to 24 months.

3 years is absurd. I thought the us carriers were horrible with 2 year terms.
