The comments here are clearly from that raving group of troll-zealots from Wind Mobile. The company that claims to have conversations with customers. Maybe you should be talking with them rather than flaming them. Just a thought. If you dont have any customers to talk to, look up how cost-of-capital works. Your managers know a bit about it as they went to Egypt to get funding they couldnt get in Canada.
the only way for a normal person to get around rediculuos pricing is with family plans, and they are insanely overpriced compared to american family plans with more features standard
interview with no other side of the story, typical fox news.
though i do agree this egyption company isnt the best option my understanding is they dont actually hold the money required to start competing in canada.. i dont like the idea of american companys taking over canadian cell service.. its an essential service that id rather not hand over to the south.
i am sick of these rates though, i pay $70 a month for evenings at 6 150 mins and unlimited incoming plus voicemail and call id.
sounds like you need to threaten to leave your provider, i know ppl who have pretty much the same for like $20 after they threatened to leave for some other companies better deal
ROFL, now I get it, he will keep the company running the backbone of Bellus till they kill CDMA (which they're doing rt now) and so in 2 years or less when the company will be done for (well, it is rt now anyways) he will go and sell to "Verizon", "Metro PCS" or "Sprint"...is he counting the fact that all this companies are moving to GSM/LTE in the next year or so and for such reason nobody will even bother with PM???
Great insight in the way PM will do business, will never recommend to anyone!
ummm, do you know anything about business? more carriers puts the heat on the other carriers to lower rates and become more competitive. i welcome the chance to have american cell companies here. fix the coverage issues we shouldnt have.
I guess you can take the boy out of Bell, but you can't take Bell out of the boy.
I wouldn't become a customer of Public Mobile when/if they launch their crappy service if you paid me. All Krstajic knows of customer service, he learned at Bell. Enough said.
Stop launching law suits, and doing interviews and get down to the business of launching your phone company!
Oh I forgot, your business is just to sell-off to one of the big 3 in 5 years.
I'm a proud Torontonian and let me just say, competition is good and i'm glad the Fed overruled the CRTC's decision for Globalive. I can tell the previous posters are pissed off at this anti-protectionist tactic by the feds. BOO FREAKING HOO.
Disgusting. Nice work playing the whole PRO-USA card.
You're a real piece of work. You've CLEARLY said you want to sell out before. Alek K, you're a disgusting example of a Canadian. You were a Bell sellout for years, and now you're lying about the money. It was a loan, the voting shares are still held by Canadians. Thanks for playing puppet to FOX.
Check out Alek's history. You can bet that his company was just a Big 3 diversion tactic. And now he's trying to play to American fears about foreigners. What a disgrace.
The whole bent of the interview seems to be concern over "Egyptian" money. Good job playing to an ignorant Fox audience. But that kind of talk won't work in Canada.
@416to613 ...he was trying to say "Oh Gosh pls ppl help us from this terrorist...sorry, middle easterns"...the poor thing has no clue where to go and hs bosses at Bellus don't want him close by... ROFL
How UN-Canadian... Public mobile... You have been beaten before you even launched.
Have you thought of considering making your plan cheaper? Maybe $25 for REAL competition? Like you said... Your spectrum was cheap... YOUR RATES SHOULD BE CHEAP. Now stfu, quit whining to americans... And just launch...
Here is some motivational advice... THE LONGER YOU DELAY... MORE PEOPLE WILL SIGN UP ON WIND
This is not about foreign ownership it's about foreign money. Globalive owns WIND mobile. Globalive is Canadian. Orascom is a bank in this case. They do not own Globalive. Just because Alex didn't know what he was doing from the beginning, now he's crying the blues. He wanted to sell out right from the beginning. He is a ploy to frustrate competition in Cananda.
It was very shameless of you Alek to go on Fox and talk down to Canadian. Rest assured such attitude will take your company to ground, and for that reason, I will never support you guys.

What a bunch of jerks going on Fox and playing on about how Wind is "Egyptian". (I guess there's a reason they chose Fox)
Such a racist company has no place to operate in Canada.

All the power to ya, Buddy! Fact is, foreign ownership or not, we need more competition here. Canadians are tired of being raped by Rogers and Bell.
