Shaw delays wireless launch

CBC News - Calgary - Shaw delays wireless launch

Shaw is delaying the launch of their wireless product by 3 months. Unfortunately that means you still have a year to wait till you can ditch your current provider for another. Shaw still hasn't announced much detail on it's wireless network such as coverage, plans or the type of hardware it will be supporting. So it's difficult to know how much you would be able to save with a switch but it will likely be just enough to temp customers away from rival carriers. The one advantage of being last to market is that you get to see everyone else's hands. It's like being the last person on the price is right you can say 1$ or 1001$ to allow you to sneak in an poach someone else's bid.
