Wind coming to Canada

Yesterday's Globe & Mail noted that the CTRC has shut down Wind Mobile. They found that it had excessive foreign control and that the real owners of Wind was Orascom. Wind is appealing.

Stu it was pretty clear that Orascom was in charge. They held all the debt, had all the experts and none of the control? The CRTC could not get over that point. It simply made no sense They will appeal but that may take months.. So for now No Wind, maybe they will find another name..

I guess that now means even less incentive for manufacturers to make AWS-compatible 3G devices.
