I just caught wind of a Bloomberg article that has an interview with Wind Mobile CEO Alek Krstagjic. His company was part of the Rogers purchase of Mobilicity because Rogers needed to dispose of spectrum to make sure that the government approved the deal. In the interview he has this to say:
Alek Krstajic, a telecommunications industry veteran who took over the top job at Wind in March, said he partnered with Rogers instead of Telus Corp. because Rogers was able to hand over more spectrum to Wind than Telus as part of the deal.
“Telus wasn’t willing to give up enough, Rogers was. Rogers prevailed,” Krstajic said by phone. Telus spokesman Shawn Hall declined to comment.
Ouch. That’s kind of nasty. The rest of the interview is more tame. But that comment really got my attention as it isn’t every day that a CEO says something like that in public. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that these two companies aren’t going to be holding hands and singing Kumbaya by the fire anytime soon.
