| The CRTC Takes the WIND out of Canadian Sails...er...Sales
WIND Mobile is down! But not out. Here's the press release: Quote:  The CRTC just sent out a press release about Globalive foreign ownership and stated “Globalive does not meet Canadian ownership rules”. We are reading through it and will report back with further details: The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission today determined that Globalive Wireless Management (Globalive) does not meet the Canadian ownership requirements set out in the Telecommunications Act. Under the legislation, a telecommunications company is only eligible to operate in Canada if it is not at any time owned and controlled, in law and in fact, by non-Canadians.
During its proceeding, the Commission examined the influence of Orascom Telecom Holding (Orascom) over Globalive’s business decisions and day-to-day operations. Despite the fact that Globalive made significant structural changes to reduce its dependence on Orascom, there were other factors that, taken together, led the Commission to conclude that Globalive does not meet the statutory test.
The Commission found it particularly important that Orascom owns 65.1 per cent of the equity, has entered into a strategic technical arrangement with Globalive, controls and holds the “Wind” brand under which Globalive will operate, and holds the overwhelming majority of the outstanding debt.
Globalive is a new company seeking to enter the Canadian wireless market. The Commission focused on the set up and operations of Globalive in the context of a company rolling out a national wireless network. In its decision, the Commission identified the areas that need to be addressed in order for Globalive to meet the Telecommunications Act’s Canadian ownership requirements. | http://mobilesyrup.com/2009/10/29/cr...nership-rules/ |

I'm happy to see Canadian governing boards love competition in the marketplace.

It's broader than that. If a company is mostly, from a corporate standpoint, not Canadian, then what happens when it profits? Do Canadians win out? Not exactly. Sure we'll tax their profits and whatnot, but the ones who gain the most are our Egyptian friends behind WIND. One can argue that it stirs up competition and forces the incumbant carriers to work harder, as it were. Which means cheaper plans, fancier phones and ultimately lower profits for them (and probably lousy network quality  ).
That's a very simplified train of thought, but I can see them arguing for that. But face it, WIND has made its mark. Look at how much has changed in Canada's mobile landscape in the last three years! Bellus going HSPA and releasing cool phones like the Hero and Omnia 2? If you told me that would be happening in 2010, I would've laughed at you and go back to yacking on my 903SH.  | |
