No idea when that will happen though.

Wind has set aside money for the spectrum auction, hopefully the CRTC sets aside spectrum for the upstarts.

There has been rumours in the past that Apple has been considering developing an iPhone that is AWS compatible – unfortunately it’s never surfaced. Special thanks today goes out to Neville Ray, CTO of T-Mobile USA, for resurrecting the rumour by saying that he’s seen Apple’s next chipset and that it could bring the “revolutionary” device to their network. According to a report in CNET, Ray stated that “The next chipset will support AWS. The challenge that existed in the past will go away”. Of course, nothing is final and Ray noted that it’s up to Apple make the deal happen. For us Canadians, an AWS iPhone would certainly bring good news to Wind Mobile, Mobilicity and Videotron.

This would be huge news for Wind Mobile. A lot of users seem uninterested in switching to Wind until they get iPhone.
To me, the current newest iPhone isn't the best on the market, but Apple has a huge fan base that follows their products and a lot of people who just think the iPhone is the best no matter what. Don't want to turn this into that discussion though... but would be a good thing for Wind if an AWS iPhone comes out.
