They apparently secured this funding by having a buyout of one of their two initial investors Orascom. Meaning the Egyptians are out of the picture and hopefully call center quality will improve some. This also means $300 million in new funding and expansion of their network. I only wish they had acquired this funding earlier since videotron got all of the 700Mhz spectrum from the gov't for $233 million. Will we see a spectrum transfer or spectrum sharing plan now between Videotron and Wind? Maybe a buyout of Videotron's won spectrum outside of Quebec?

So either way, with the new funding we will likely see LTE at some point on Wind network, improved/expanded coverage and better customer service. This is great news for Wind customers of which there are over 750000 now.
