I would say it makes sense. This whole mess has gotten way out of control. It's time for the government to show real leadership and stick to what it started. I wouldn’t say they are jumping the gun.

It's almost time Robelus, mua ha ha. But seriously they're screwed. It’s all a waiting game for now, I just wish that we could have a date as to when Tony Clement will be making his decision.

It's a part of the agreement of Orascom's holding of Globalive's debt. That was a major part of the CRTC's decision to withhold operating right to Wind.

It was an interpretation of the law and that is how the CRTC ruled. Someone should start looking at what size bed the CRTC bought to fit all three big companies and the CRTC in it.

Many international companies like Vodafone, Orange etc... operate in different markets sometimes under the same name they use in their home market. The name has nothing to do with it. also, when Bitove created DAVE Wireless with several investors, do you honestly believe that all investors are Canadians??/ Remember Rogers AT&T alliance?? The fact here is that the incumbents are really afraid of Globalive more so than other new entrants because tit will survive and not be entrenched in debt in a few years and be bought by the big guys such as fido and Clearnet. that is why they are afraid. These CRTC rules were written many years ago with the help of Ted Rogers and a few others in the industry to give them exactly that total control because they cannot compete with larger new entrants. Canada has one of the lowest penetration rate for an industrializes nation. Also the ARPU $68(average revenue per user) is one of the top highest. We are the 3rd highest paying cell phone users in the world. This is not true.

Fire the person at Industry Canada that didn't read the rule book and gave them the green light. Promote those at CRTC who actually did read the rule book and had the guts to stand up and expose the error. Wind doesn't even remotely meet the minimum requirements. They have lawyers and they can read the writing... what did they think was going to happen? Pull the plug already!

Even though WIND is run by Canadians and Orascom doesn't get to make any decisions in the running of Globalive. We've been talking about the three companies crewing us for years and no one did a thing about it. So Globalive comes into the picture and decides we're gonna go all the way and not do a half as$ed job when competing against the big three. There is money to be made. So when they went to Orascom for money, it benefits them both. It also benefits us as Canadians. I wonder where all all the Canadian companies were to help a Canadian company stand out. Rogers and Bell pretty much run all that is media in this country and they do so unfairly. Globalive is what this country was built on. We're not a bunch of communists that do whatever you tell us. Good luck globalive. Stick it to the big guy for a change! I don’t care who WIND is run by.
