Canada Courts Quash Gov't Decision On Globalive

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday February 5, 2011 @04:01PM from the or-whatever-the-polite-version-of-quash-is dept.

sitkill writes "A Canadian Federal Court ruling has rejected the Tory Cabinet's decision to overturn a CRTC mandate not allowing Globalive (which is more commonly known in Canada as the mobile carrier Wind) to operate in Canada. This is a small vindication to the embattled CRTC, which has been recently in the spotlight for its decision on usage based billing, drawing criticism from the Tory Cabinet. The CEO, Mr. Lacavera, stressed that this would not result in Globalive's Wind Mobile being shut down, simply that it would require another round of wrangling with the regulator over how much foreign influence is acceptable in a Canadian telecommunications company."

Quebec should stay, it's Ottawa that should separate.

I agree, CBC radio is very good. Good programming, no commercials, I am happy to pay taxes for that. CBC-TV on the other hand...
