There’s nothing better than having cash in the bank. Unless you banking new wireless subscribers into multi-year wireless contracts – post-paid wireless subscribers are better than cash because they add to a network operator’s cash-hoard every single month. In that vein, Rogers Canada is banking some serious… subscribership.
Rogers has announced that they sold 255,000 iPhone 3G smartphones in Q3 2008 alone. The number is far short of the total number of iPhone 3G’s sold worldwide, and is eclipsed by AT&T’s iPhone 3G sales in Q3 2008, but a quarter-million smartphones sold is no small feat. And, with 193,000 net post-paid subscriber additions to Rogers’ network, it looks like Canada’s premier GSM carrier is doing quite well for themselves.
Which raises the question – why does Rogers need to cut down on dealer commissions? That’s right, we just went there.
