WIND Mobile Applauds CRTC Wholesale Roaming Decision

CRTC decision next step in expanding competition and choice

TORONTO, May 5, 2015 /CNW/ - WIND Mobile, Canada's fourth largest wireless services provider, says today's decision by the CRTC will lead to better, stronger competition for Canadian consumers.

"A fair, cost-based wholesale roaming regime will allow WIND Mobile to both better serve its existing customers and better provide choice to all Canadians in our markets," said Alek Krstajic, CEO of WIND Mobile. "Enabling all Canadians – with all carriers – fair access to networks across the country will improve service and reduce prices."

"Once again, the federal government is taking steps to expand on its promise to support sustainable wireless competition in Canada," added Bob Boron, Chief Regulatory Officer of WIND Mobile. "The first phase of changes to wholesale roaming rates allowed WIND Mobile to reduce roaming charges for its customers by up to 90%. We urge the CRTC to push ahead quickly with the cost-analysis phase, so we can bring even more choice and better pricing to Canadians."
