Next month, WIND Mobile – Canada’s fastest growing wireless carrier – will launch in Kitchener-Waterloo. Before they open their doors, WIND wants to make the right impression on the community so, to show its support, is offering the WINDthanks KW Community Grant – a $10,000 grant to one organization or charity in the community to support a new or existing project.

The world’s first dual core smartphone has arrived. WIND Mobile is the exclusive carrier to offer the LG Optimus 2X to Canadians in WIND zones across the country. International buzz surrounded the launch of the LG Optimus 2X because of the first-of-its-kind dual processor system that seamlessly transitions between features like HD video, mobile gaming and web browsing.

After more than a year of bringing change to the Canadian wireless consumer, WIND Mobile is changing the wireless market again, this time for businesses. With the launch of Unlimited Business Solutions, WIND Mobile is the first new, national wireless provider to offer fair prices to the Canadian business community. WIND offers businesses the chance to create their own flexible solution that comes without a contract.

Today, the Canadian Federal Court of Appeal ruled in favour of the Government of Canada and Globalive by allowing their appeals and restoring the Order in Council that permitted Globalive to launch in December 2009. In overturning the decision, the Federal Court of Appeal recognized that Cabinet acted properly both in varying an earlier CRTC decision and in finding that Globalive meets the Canadian ownership and control test in the Telecommunications Act. The decision was unanimous.

A poll released by popular mobile technology blog, Mobile Syrup, asked Canadians, “Which Canadian carrier has the best monthly plan?” After nearly 5,000 votes were cast, WIND Mobile was selected as the carrier with the best monthly plan.

One year ago today, WIND Mobile launched in Vancouver and since then 166 million minutes of unlimited talk time have been used by Vancouverites on WIND’s state-of-the-art HD voice network. As the first new entrant to launch in Vancouver, it loosened the stronghold of the Canadian wireless oligopoly and challenged the status quo, offering Vancouver consumers real choice and value.

I want to talk to you today about wireless competition in Canada. Not through the lens of rose coloured glasses. Not the story you’ve heard. The one of Globalive, a small, born-in-Canada company that dreamed big, fought hard and planned to launch a new wireless offering among the incumbents to shake-up the entrenched oligopoly.

WIND Mobile has been operating for just over a year but is now officially the fastest growing wireless carrier in Canada. The incumbents have reported their Q1 results and the figures show that WIND Mobile has added more new subscribers than any other provider.
