From the May 14 Globe & Mail column 'Streetwise' there is a discussion
on the internal struggle at Bell over a potential bid for Microcell.
This is a subscription article so I can't post a URL, but I did find the
following quote interesting:
> Once it closed the purchase, Rogers found the Microcell customer base was far more lucrative than suspected. The hidden jewel in the newly acquired company was a big chunk of frequent-flier business customers who must stay in touch when they travel. These clients willingly pay huge monthly bills to own phones and Blackberries that roam.
