Dave, pls comprehend what I wrote and your own comment. 800 are overseas – you. Jobs were already exported to other countries – me. I thought what Brian said was a little too crass about the i***t thing. Then again if it walks like a duck.

so are you suggesting that they’re going to kill us all with the signal? It took some foreigners who are experienced in wireless to help out and to make a good network. I’m pretty sure the other companies did the same. Also, what country are you living in? The country is comprised of foreigners. In fact, it was foreigners that pretty much built this country. People use foreign help everyday, they are called consultants!

why is he bashing dave and public? First of all, it’s not that hard of a name. Second, dave and public are starting half assed companies that will probably end up being bought out. Thirdly, they didn’t support wind even though they are in same boat. Clearly if they have the same ideals, it would have been smart for dave to jump on wind’s back so they could merge in the future.

The number one language spoken at WIND Mobile is Arabic… but it’s a Canadian company, we promise.

The thing with WIND is that it’s not intending to export jobs outside of the country; it already has. The network and the brand were built entirely by foriegners…

Are you kidding me? Of course this has set a precedent; when the legislative arm of the Government varies the law to satisfy political objectives, you’d better believe there are legal implications… Foreign ownership guidelines are effectively dead… bring on the foreign acquisitions!

“Verizon Communications makes hostile, all cash bid for TELUS”

“AT&T Accquires Rogers Communications Wireless Assets”

Shaun, Brian –

Do you homework; Canadian Telcos employ THOUSANDS of Canadians… Telus has 30,000 employees, of which 800 are overseas (Phillipines).

Bell, Rogers and Telus are probably pretty happy right now because they got what they wanted.

1) Delayed Wind launch (although whether Wind was actually ready to launch a month ago is questionable). It was generally accepted that in one form or another Wind would launch so delay was the best outcome.

2) Eliminate foreign ownership restrictions. This has been the goal of the telecom companies for quite some time and the Industry Minister just handed them exactly what they wanted.

Additional competition was coming no matter what. The incumbents just made sure it came on their terms. They’re the winners here.

Canadian consumers have yet to win because nobody knows exactly what Wind will do.

Finally! Congratulations WIND Mobile!

Now we need to get used to saying BIG 4 instead of BIG 3!

I don’t really care if they’re run by aliens. As the video says, they needed a partnership to become a viable competitor. Not some fly by night operation like dave or public. Do you work for csis or something?
