Comments on: Only 1 of Canada’s 3 new cell providers will make it past year 1. Who ? Dave, Public Mobile, or Wind Mobile ? http://www.thetelecomblog.com/2009/10/23/only-1-of-canadas-3-new-cell-providers-will-make-it-past-year-1-who-dave-public-mobile-or-wind-mobile/ Telecom news, thoughts, analysis and provocative opinion Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:46:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Cyndy http://www.thetelecomblog.com/2009/10/23/only-1-of-canadas-3-new-cell-providers-will-make-it-past-year-1-who-dave-public-mobile-or-wind-mobile/comment-page-1/#comment-2865 Cyndy Wed, 24 Mar 2010 22:44:32 +0000 http://www.thetelecomblog.com/?p=1606#comment-2865 I heard verizon is coming to Canada. Is this true, and if so, when? My dream is that one of these companies come and offer to buy out our contracts if we sign with them. I am so sick of Bell, but I am stuck in a contract, nobody else offers the 10-4 service my husband uses. We would gladly switched to no 10-4 if the price of roaming was good. I know this will probably not happen, but it is nice to dream. I heard verizon is coming to Canada. Is this true, and if so, when?

Doesn't this mean they can't sell to an incumbent for 5 years after launch? Seems like this won't be the (discounted) exit strategy that you're suggesting, at least not after year 1. Or do I have it wrong? Regarding your prediction on DAVE, the spectrum they purchased was set aside for new entrants. Doesn’t this mean they can’t sell to an incumbent for 5 years after launch?
