Before this thing gets too far, do we have any validation of this internal memo?
Don’t get me wrong, I’d not be surprised to see the rusted sinking hull of Bell make such a move, but is there any credible evidence that this memo exists? No confirmation of this internal memo other than that post by an anonymous person at the web site. The first mention of this I found was on Hofo, and it was posted by a very reputable member who works at a Bell dealer. It'd be one thing if it was in fact an Anonymous person or a brand new member that posted it, but I see no reason why this specific member would post it if the memo in fact didn't exist. |

Any link to that? Otherwise it is still unsubstantiated rumor.

1 edit | And why should we believe Sammy740 on that forum. There is still no text of the supposed internal memo.
And another poster here in the BBR thread denies this is true:

I've been doing some digging and checked with some colleagues within Mobility and no one seems to know anything about this. |

Just because there isn't text doesn't mean it isn't true either. People should make up their own minds based on the facts (or rumors) at hand. If it is going to happen, shame on Bell Canada. If some Bell Ca exec was dreaming up ways to screw the customer, now is the prefect time to raise a fuss. If it was never going to happen, then the only thing bad happening is that the support lines are being tied up.
He doesn't deny it. He just says that no one he knows has heard of it. He also said that a previous change (DPI...whatever that is) that the scripts weren't released until the change was. Since the rumor here says in the coming weeks, scripts might not be released until the GPS changes are made too. |

TK, I know your gimmick is pro-corporation and to distrust everything that is said that is negative about any large company in North America, but are you serious? If we've learned one thing about Bell the last year or two it's that they are out to make money, consumers be damned.
I know you do what you do and won't be swayed, but it's really tiresome. |
