WIND Mobile CEO says “We are not deterred”
With the news that shocked the Canadian wireless world that the CRTC found Globalive (Wind Mobile) “does not meet Canadian ownership rules”… which will delay their launch, Ken Campbell has written a post on their website.
Titled “Competition Will Come” he states “We face a disappointing decision by the CRTC, one which has serious implications for competition in Canada. Since this journey began, the support from our community members has inspired me, and will continue to motivate all of us at WIND as we pursue all options to bring change to the wireless industry in Canada.
We are not deterred. We are exploring different paths. And with your support and voice, we will find a way…We’re determined. We have built a strong network and a great team of more than 500 people. We are ready to bring competition. In the coming days we will be evaluating what options we have. The Canadian consumer took a hit yesterday, but competition will come.”
What are your thoughts on this… do you believe Globalive should have been given the green light? What options do you think they will take?

If they were allowed to purchase it, they should be able to use it! I’m glad to know they aren’t giving up, I hope they launch, especially knowing they are creating 500 new jobs..

Typical Canadian bureaucracy. It is useless to follow these antiquated rules in a global economy. The CRTC should be disbanded, it’s usefulness exhausted.

i think these guys are theft, they said they had 800 employees, now its 500, what if Wind was just smoke to our eyes, and tried to pull a fast one with foreign money…

I doubt they even have 500 actual Wind employees. And I doubt they’ve “built a strong network.” These guys just aren’t on the level.

How exactly would they pull a fast one with foreign money? By launching and giving more choice to Canadians?

You don’t think 300 decided not to take their job offer after the CRTC decision?
