CRTC rules Globalive not Canadian enough

CRTC has decided somewhat out of the blue that telecom contender Globalive is not Canadian enough. The company recently announced its new trade name and logo: WIND Mobile. Globalive's parent is Egyptian telecom biggie Orascom. Globalive has already jumped several expensive hurdles, as described by the Toronto Star, linked in the headline. Bell and Rogers are happy. Here also is what Kate O'Brien had to say in MobileSyrup recently: "Globalive Wireless has been put through the ringer over the past few months, especially with the upcoming investigation by the CRTC for their foreign ownership. However, this new wireless entrant seems to be having a grand old time. On their Twitter page they say they’re “working to bring competition to Canada’s wireless world is hard work but having some fun!”. Even when we interviewed Globalive Chairman Tony Lacavera he said it’s “just another roadblock”. But with all hardship comes adversity and Globalive has boatloads full of it!"
