Nice to finally have a date, they've been talking about this wireless auction for what seems like over two years now.

Industry Minister, Christian Paradis, held a press conference early this morning to outline the series of events that will lead up to a November 19th auction for the highly-coveted 700Mhz spectrum. Already in use in the United States, the 700Mhz band will facilitate wireless signals that more easily penetrate walls and deliver faster speeds in rural areas.

The speed of LTE is great but I'm more excited for this spectrum because of it's ability to reach longer and further.

Citing renewed need for a competitive marketplace, Paradis ensured that all Canadian provinces will have at least four companies for customers to choose from. Similarly, at least four companies per region will be able to bid on the sought-after spectrum in November thanks to new rules around foreign investment.

So... basically Telus, Rogers, Bell and one new entrant?
