myCELLmyTERMS air date on the Dragons’ Den has been set for October 21st, 2009 at 8 pm.

Fifty supporters dressed in red hooded sweatshirts accompanied by a drummer and guy on a megaphone joined the myCELLmyTERMS founders, Paul Peic, Kye Husbands, Yale Holder and Eswar Padmanabhan as they entered the den to face the Dragons, Arlene Dickinson, Robert Herjavec, Jim Treliving, Kevin O’Leary, and W. Brett Wilson. Although you can’t see it in this promo, it was a tense pitch in the den. The supporters played a vital role in helping these revolutionaries voice their opinions about the wireless industry in Canada. Together they made the Dragons hear their message about an industry that desperately needs a shake up.

Frustrated supporters gathered in front of the CBC Building on John St in Toronto, Ontario to support myCELLmyTERMS.com, an industry first web portal which will allow Canadians to negotiate their own cell phone deals.

Supporters dressed in red hooded sweatshirts were lead down the  street by a drummer and a megaphone loud speaker, chanting “my cell, my terms!” and “we need a change in the cell phone industry”. Clearly an indication that change is on its way.
