   Koodo is just a flanker brand of Telus.  Canada only has three major wireless   
   cell phone carriers.   
      
   Bell, Rogers and Telus each own "flanker" brands to appeal to different market   
   segments and to create the illusion of competition.   
      
   Rogers: Fido & Chatr   
   Telus: Koodo & Public Mobile   
   Bell: Virgin & Lucky Mobile   
      
   Whenever a fourth carrier tries to enter the space they get swallowed by one   
   of the big three.  Wind mobile tried to become a fourth national carrier & had   
   marginal success.  When their ownership came into question (as t   
   lecommunications companies need to be majority Canadian owned) they were sold   
   to Shaw who is now trying to be swallowed by Rogers.
