Spectrum Licences: Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association

Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association: Clarity is also needed on the sale of unused spectrum licences to major telecom players to build out their cellphone networks, said Bernard Lord of the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association, according to CTV. The call for clarity from Ottawa follows the recent announcement by Telus TSX:T that it has signed a deal to scoop up Mobilicity for $380 million in an agreement that would see the struggling carrier sold before its spectrum licence can be transferred in 2014 and MONTREAL -- Consumers and the wireless industry need certainty on the rules for buying struggling, new cellphone carriers, the head of a telecom industry group says. "The rules are clear, but nobody knows how they are going to be applied," Lord said in an interview. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
