More cellphone competition is on the way as Globalive Communications Inc. is aiming to have Canada’s fourth national wireless service up and running in the second half of 2009.
The Toronto-based company made the announcement on Thursday after spending $442 million on wireless spectrum licences across the country — except Quebec — in a government auction earlier this summer. Auction participants had been under a gag order since bidding ended in late July and were prohibited from speaking to each other or from sharing their plans with the public until Thursday.
