Canada wireless telecom Industry calls for open spectrum auction
Published June 13th, 2007
The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) today called on the federal government to ensure that the 2008 Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) spectrum auction is open and free of artificial measures.
“To continue stimulating innovation and investment, the federal government must create a level playing field for all companies seeking to acquire AWS spectrum,” said Peter Barnes, president and CEO of the CWTA.
“Canadians deserve an open, innovative and competitive wireless industry. They deserve an industry that is really competitive and
really Canadian.”
Ottawa has announced that it will auction off AWS spectrum in 2008. Canada’s wireless industry needs spectrum to continue delivering the competitive mobile communications, information and entertainment that Canadians enjoy and rely on.
