	I realize (and it’s clear from the inclusion of statistics) that Rogers doesn’t need to focus on what any individual wants. But I don’t want just first run movies, trendy sports and series in an exclusive community, I want world scale choice and pricing with the knowledge and chaos of the Internet. I have yet to see any Rogers promotions that have been aimed at me, aside maybe from the initial “open,” “revolution” Android ads, which unfortunately proved rather false. While I am not included in “nearly 60 per cent of 18-34 year-old,” I am pretty sure the majority of people would simply like Roger to provide reliable, fast, competitive Internet service so we can choose from a global palette of options. Rogers should certainly participate in extra offerings, but not to the detriment to the bigger idea.

			This is more of a hobbie these days, every once in a while a Rogers moderator replies in a sympathetic tone, but situation is clear.

			"What are your thoughts on the new service? How have you changed the ways you enjoy video entertainment?"

	I realize (and it’s clear from the inclusion of statistics) that Rogers doesn’t need to focus on what any individual wants. But I don’t want just first run movies, trendy sports and series in an exclusive community, I want world scale choice and pricing with the knowledge and chaos of the Internet. I have yet to see any Rogers promotions that have been aimed at me, aside maybe from the initial “open,” “revolution” Android ads, which unfortunately proved rather false. While I am not included in “nearly 60 per cent of 18-34 year-old,” I am pretty sure the majority of people would simply like Roger to provide reliable, fast, competitive Internet service so we can choose from a global palette of options. Rogers should certainly participate in extra offerings, but not to the detriment to the bigger idea.

	What is there to get over really. It has a nice screen and up to date specs. It has a slightly out of date OS that is promised (…….) to be updated in a few weeks! (though no word on what will be the up to date OS in a mere month, Android 3.0).

	~~No word on crucial features like how tethering will work. And it only satisfies entertainment and casual communications users (no hard keyboard).~~

	People need to raise their standards, ask for more, is Android just another OS or is it in any way “open?” If it’s just another OS, seriously, get an iPhone, cause at least they can get their hardware together and Apple, for all their totalitarianism (which I couldn’t tolerate), acts on behalf of their users for what the carrier provides (visual voice mail, tethering, early upgrades, etc).

	~~Reasonable ways for people to run their own handset on Roger’s system would also be reasonable (eg unsubsidized plans).~~

	~~Thanks.~~
