A Vancouver-based cell phone business is preparing for a small dip in revenue, following a new rule by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) that prevents cellphone companies from charging customers to unlock their devices.

Partner Peggy Berndt says unlocking cell phones is only one of the services they provide, but it will have some impact.
