WIND is coming to Canada.  You heard that right by the end of the year we should start to see WIND in the major markets (likely Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver) and then general availability in 2010.

Some may have already heard of WIND.  They are big in Italy and Greece and successful in Europe in general.  Globalive, which is the parent company, is hoping to have the same success in Canada as it has in other markets.  Globalive was the winner of last year’s Canadian AWS auction.

This means there will be more competition and hopefully this will lower pricing on plans.  For now we have to wait and see how things change the wireless landscape in Canada.  One downside is for now they will not be available in Montreal or Quebec in general for that matter.

  What I am interested in seeing what phones Wind and the other new cell carriers will bring to Canadians. Does that mean that the Sidekick will finally be available in Canada?

  Since WIND will be working on the 1700MHz 3G frequency it is likely a lot, if not most, of the phones that make it onto T-Mobile in the US will make it onto wind. At this time T-Mobile is the biggest 1700MHz 3G support in North America.
