Don't skip to that conclusion just yet:
[Ed. Prior to our interview, Industry Minister Tony Clement publically stated that he and Industry Canada will be investigating the CRTC’s decision. Said Clement: “We are examining the CRTC decision very closely, and certainly we are still very much in favour of more competition in the telecom space for Canadian consumers. That’s why we opened up these contracts to other new entrants.”
There is still hope, keep up the support!
Yes, they will examine it...it will take a few months before they make any decision. And if they will let Wind start, then all the others will presumably have the same rights in terms of ownership. Which meant the big American carriers will come up. It'll be a tough competition. Consumers will benefit companies will fail or sell out. Will Wind be one of them?
Trevor11 as far as selling out.. Do not be surprised if GL is bought up. Bell already made an offer and I am sure Orascom is looking to get some of its investment back.
Also do not look for a reprieve for Wind. Besides the world ends in 2012 so how much money can they possibly make?
