Until phones that have this band are more widespread, a roaming agreement isn't all that useful.

Now, Wind Canada roaming on Wind Italy would be very useful indeed.

Don't most phones that come with UMTS 1700 also have 2100 for int'l roaming?

And does Wind not have 2G coverage? If so a lack of UMTS 2100 wouldn't matter much.

Wind roams on Rogers in 2g at 25 cents a minute, no long distance charges so it may put Petro Canada mobility out of business as the rate is the same but much cheaper on long distance calls.

Unfortunately no but I'am sure it will change in the future.
