Entry into Wireless
After purchasing a significant amount of spectrum in Canada’s Advanced Wireless Spectrum auction in 2008, Globalive Communications Corp. is well positioned to offer Canadians more choice in cellular service and technology. Committed to doing things differently, Globalive marked its entry into wireless by launching a completely unique initiative in Canada’s wireless industry: WirelessSoapbox.com. WirelessSoapbox.com serves as a forum where Canadians can discuss their ideas, thoughts and opinions on all things wireless. Upon launch, the site was an immediate success receiving thousands of comments from Canadian consumers asking for change in the wireless industry. Based on this impressive amount of feedback Globalive Wireless is set to launch its wireless services in select markets in 2010. By offering unique-customer focused service and product offerings, Globalive will usher in a new era of choice in Canada.
