CANADA / USA : Road Trip Costs Saskatchewan Grandpa $1,000 For Netflix Films.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/story/2012/02/02/sk-movie-roaming-charges-120202.html

     Saskatchewan's John Gibson is $1,000 poorer but wiser about roaming charges.
     Weyburn resident Gibson let his family and 2 grand kids watch some Netflix movies on his laptop's air card during a long road trip to Phoenix, Arizona.
     His bill came to...$10,000 usd!
     Eventually...Gibson's Canadian provider SaskTel agreed to knock down the damage...to just one grand.
     And he says he has learned his lesson.
