Are you a Wind Mobile subscriber? Happy with their service? If so, enjoy each and every day as they might not be around for very long.
Justice Roger Hughes of Federal Court revealed today that the prior decision to allow Globalive, the company who owns Wind Mobile, to operate in Canada “was based on errors of law and must be quashed.” As such, he’s come out with a 45-day stay of judgment order wherein Globalive can still operate, and in turn, appeal the ruling within the given time period. If they can’t give suffice reason as to why they should be allowed to do business in the country, they may be forced to shut down.
Here’s what Globalive chairman Anthony Lacavera had to say about the sudden turn of events:
We’re disappointed. We’re assessing our options and we will fight it vigorously.
Another bit of bad news to end the week, but hey, there’s still hope here. Let’s just wait and see what happens after the 45-day period lapses.
As for you Wind Mobile subscribers out there, there’s no need to panic at this point in time, but do stayed tuned as we’ll be keeping tabs on this developing story so that you’ll know when to exactly jump ship and finally find a new carrier to subscribe to.
