As we’ve mentioned, our plan was to launch Public Mobile at the end of 2009. It’s taken a little longer than we originally anticipated, but we’d never want to launch a network that didn’t meet our standards. We’ve also been listening to get an even better understanding of the kind of provider you’ve been waiting for. We’re doing some testing and overall tweaking to ensure that you will have the best service that we can provide. The launch date is now scheduled for the first half of 2010 and we’re working hard to deliver a service you’ll be happy with.
Wondering what we’ve been up to? Below, Alek talks about what goes into building a cell phone company from the ground up.

Alek appeared on the CBC Business show ‘The Lang & O’Leary Exchange’ to explain why Public Mobile wants the Federal Court of Canada to review the government’s decision to approve Globalive’s ownership structure.
In the interview Alek explains that Public Mobile is not looking to stop Globalive from operating, he simply wants the same rights when it comes to raising outside capital. This will provide benefits to consumers, allowing networks to expand faster and more competition in Canada.
Here’s the interview.
