Canwest News Service had a chance to interview Canada’s Industry Minister Tony Clement who had this to share about the recent overruling of the CRTC’s decision to prevent Globalive from launching, “This government made a decision a couple of years ago that we wanted more competition in the wireless space, that this was important for consumers, it was important for our economy,” the industry
minister said. “So the momentous decision wasn’t the Globalive decision, the momentous decision was the decision we made a couple of years ago to set aside spectrum for auction to new entrants, rather than the current incumbents.”
There is no doubt that the decision to overturn the CRTC’s ruling is still creating a lot of controversy within the Canadian wireless sector as Bell, Rogers and TELUS are each hoping to hold on their their market share, but it is inevitable that we will see more competition in Canada. Global Globalive is now live and DAVE Wireless is probably next, well once the CRTC is done re-investigating their current structure and stop preventing business growth in Canada.
