15,000 Canadians Petition For iPhone Rate Relief

After waiting forever to finally get iPhones, Canadians are slight PO’d at the prices, plans and just about everything else. Since Canada is too far away from Cupertino for a protest march, everyone got together and signed a petition and letter addressed directly to Steve Jobs.

But the largest and most pungent protest is a petition whose original name was unprintable, but which can now be found at ruinediphone.com. Its stated goal is to gather 10,000 names — accompanied by to a letter to Steve Jobs — by July 11, the date when the iPhone 3G goes on sale in Canada. By Sunday morning it had already gathered more than 10,000; by Monday it had topped 15,000.
