In a lengthy interview with Cartt.ca editor and publisher Greg O’Brien, WIND Mobile CEO Anthony Lacavera outlined some of his company’s expansion plans. With its legal and regulatory issues behind it (although there is still an appeal to the Supreme Court), WIND Mobile is looking to get back the growth of its coverage area back on track.
Less than two weeks ago, WIND Mobile launched its sixth WIND Zone in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. It is now looking to expand that zone to Guelph and Cambridge within the next 60 days. It is also planning to “continue down the 401” to cities such as London, Chatham and Windsor.
There was no mention of Victoria, British Columbia, which had been rumoured to launch earlier this year.
Lacavera also commented on the upcoming 700MHz auction, calling it “more critical” than the 2008 AWS auction that allowed it launch in Canada and the “critical next step for our business.”
