Well, everyone's favourite Canadian Regulator, or should I say deregulator, the CRTC, has decided on their foreign ownership decision for Globalive. The decision, was that Globalive/Wind Mobile does not meet Canadian ownership rules.
Globalive is a Canadian company that participated in an auction last year for wireless spectrum to provide new competition in Canada. They got lots of money from an Egyptian company called Orascom. Before they started preparing for their wireless services, Industry Canada approved Globalive and Orascom's joint venture. They managed to get spectrum in all provinces except for Quebec, where Quebecor (Videotron) beat their bid. Globalive's wireless service is known as Wind Mobile.
