The news is circulating that upstart mobile carrier Wind Mobile is up for sale:
Canaccord Genuity analyst Dvai Ghose says he’s heard from several sources that VimpelCom has started the process to sell Wind Mobile, launched in December 2009.
A separate source familiar with the process also confirmed to The Canadian Press that Wind Mobile is being put up for sale.
If true, this sucks. Canada needs a much more competitive wireless landscape as there is not enough competition with the oligopoly of Bell, Rogers, and Telus. One can hope that Wind isn’t purchased by one of those three and that whomever purchases them has deep enough pockets to make Wind Mobile a real player in Canada.
