A consumer advocacy group is calling on the federal government to make access to affordable communications the law of the land. The Public Interest Advocacy Centre says cell phone, Internet and other services have become a vital part of everyday life…so essential to Canadians, that some people are willing to give up on food and health care purchases to make sure they stay connected.
