Christmas has come early for Globalive. Industry Minister Tony Clement has rejected the CRTC’s decision that Globalive did not meet Canadian ownership rules, paving the way for the company to launch its WIND Mobile brand.
“The decision to vary the CRTC Globalive decision, let me emphasize, was based on the legal facts and not on the government’s position that there needs to be more competition in the marketplace,” Mr. Clement said. “That said, I firmly believe, that Globalive entry into the market to provide near national service will enhance competition for the benefit of Canadian consumers. A competitive marketplace assists consumers by giving more choice, at better prices and higher quality.”
Now we wait for the details of when WIND Mobile will launch.
