The case describes the situation for Globalive in 2009 soon after its play to enter the Canadian wireless telecommunications sector was refused by the regulatory agency on the grounds that it violated foreign ownership limitations. The instance covers the background to Globalive and the events leading to the regulator's conclusion. The case may be taught in a business and government class to illustrate (a) the rationale or political sense for government policy decisions, (b) the role of political or 'non-market' strategy in regulated industries, and (c) the connection between market and non-market strategies.
