Dominic, What the other gentleman is trying to say is that Clearnet signed an Analog Roaming Agreement with Cantel where Clearnet PAYS for the analog time used but does not pass the premium charge along to its customers. However, Fido signed a similar agreement with Bell Mobility but the main difference being that Fido (Microcell) didn't have analog as a part of the business plan at launch and as such had to pass along the cost to their clients since the additional cost would have represented a substantial loss to them given their pricing models. It is important to note that Fido/Microcell only signed the agreement when it became clear that the other providers were using Fido's (then) limited coverage areas as a selling point for their own services...
