This case study is based on a high profile issue facing the Canadian Federal Government - ongoing as of December 2010 - that had begun in 2008. This choice had come about that this was chiefly due to the high relative cost of wireless services and because research indicated that Canadian usage of wireless services had lagged behind that of other developed nations. This was in contrast to only a decade before when Canada was viewed as a global leader in the execution of wireless technology.
It's well understood that telecommunication adoption rates have an immediate consequence to the productivity of the Canadian economy. One of many new entrants was Globalive Communications Corporation (Globalive), a startup which was funded by Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. (Orascom), an Egyptian business. In spite of the reality that Canada has defined foreign ownership restrictions for the telecommunications sector, Globalive was let to bid. It paid $442 million for its spectrum, and won, began to hire hundreds of staff, and committed another $300 million to investing in wireless infrastructure.
