Globalive Communications Corp., a potential new Canadian wireless provider, is hoping to snare 1.5 million customers in the first three years after a proposed launch of wireless services in the latter of half of next year.
The parent of the Yak long distance service, which bid $442 million on wireless spectrum across the country in a recent government auction, plans to reach the goal by focusing on cheaper pre-paid wireless plans in an apparent bid to woo customers away from existing players and sign up others that don’t yet have cell phones.
