Aspiring Canadian cell phone carrier, DAVE Wireless, announced yesterday that it had signed a licensing agreement with Bell Mobility, allowing it to attach wireless transmitters to Bell’s existing cell sites.

Bell’s network of several thousand cell phone towers already provides digital coverage reaching over 93% of Canadians. Gaining access to this infrastructure should make things significantly easier for DAVE, which plans to begin offering cell phone service in several major cities early next year.

“With the upcoming launch of DAVE Wireless, our ability to gain access to valuable real estate on Bell Mobility’s existing cell sites moves us another step closer to offering competitive voice and data services to Canadians,” said the company’s president, Dave Dobbin. “By using existing infrastructure built by Bell, we can greatly quicken our time to market in the fast-paced wireless industry.”

    1. WHAT SPIN DOCTOR BELL ALSO DOES NOT TELL ALL OF IT’S CUSTOMERS .Canadian cell phone carrier, DAVE Wireless, announced that it had signed a licensing agreement with Bell Mobility, allowing it to attach wireless transmitters to Bell’s existing cell sites. What most citizens do not realize is that wireless phones are digital based too, operating on Bell’s internet services too AND IT FURTHER EXPLAINS WHY BELL HAS TO CAP IT INTERNET CUSTOMERS’ USAGES, DOWNLOADS OFTEN TOO, TO MAKE THE ROOM FOR THE WIRELESS PHONES AS WELL . BELL REALLY DOES NOT HAVE EXISTING ADEQUATE CAPACITY FOR BOTH, NOT EVEN FOR THE HIGH SPEED INTERNET SERVICES IN ALL AREAS OF CANADA. IT IS CLEARLY TOO CHEAP TO SPEND CAPITAL TO DO THIS

    3. LOL, you honestly believe that your home DSL is being capped because of cell phone traffic? A single smartphone uses like 1/100 the traffic of the average home DSL user. Bell does need to upgrade their network, but not because of cell phone traffic.

      And actually Bell has tons of infrastructure in place(fiber is run all over this country, paid for by tax payers), they are just to cheap to light up until they are forced to by a competing vendor.
