I think a combo:
1. 3 year contracts lock in consumers.
2. The AWS technology and home model these guys use.
3. No iPhone.
I'm pretty sure those were the downfalls. Mobilicity are large volume to make money models and that does not work when either you can't switch for their first 3 years of operation, and you can't get the most popular handset.

I think it just boils down to one thing - quality of phone service. Lots of these guys just weren't reliable enough and didn't have coverage for the entire city.
I drive around a fair bit for work too - there is sometimes 1-2 hours where I am outside of their network, even though I don't leave the city limits. Kind of sad.
