sincity Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 There had been reports earlier this week that suggested Verizon was interested in entering the Canadian wireless market. Fran Shammo, the company's chief financial officer, confirmed in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that the wireless provider is "looking at the opportunity." It had previously been reported that Verizon was interested in acquiring Canadian wireless provider Wind Mobile. The executive wouldn't confirm talks with the wireless provider and would only say that the company's plans are in the early stages. Shammo also explained that there could be some regulatory complications that could delay the carrier's plans for entering the country, so it doesn't seem like a move up north is likely to happen anytime soon.

CaulkLiquor Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Considering Winds crappy roll out in smaller communities and along our major highway, perhaps it might be a good thing (I'm not betting on this though) Also, this may set a president for foreign ownership and perhaps continue to encourage foreign investment, if the CRTC (aka known as the Rogers executive retirement plan) pulls its head out of its ass. I guess my point is, anything is better than Rogers/Bell and all their subsidiaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
