I love to see our local ILEC get anxious.

is urging Industry Minister Tony Clement not to overturn the federal telecommunications regulator’s rejection of Globalive as a cellphone network operator.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ruled on Oct. 29 that Globalive isn’t Canadian-owned and -controlled, and prevented the company from launching its cellphone business. The commission’s decision conflicted with Industry Canada’s approval of Globalive’s ownership structure.

Globalive wants to be Canada’s fourth major wireless carrier, competing against , Rogers and Bell. It has spectrum across Canada, except in Quebec.

Canadian cell users NEED more carriers – there is little competition and the pricing works out to be about the same for each carrier, just packaged differently. Canada has some of the most expensive cell rates going.
