Globalive looks to return to wireless market with bid for Manitoba spectrum

Globalive is looking to return to the Canadian wireless market with an offer to buy spectrum licenses from former wireless company Xplore Mobile.

Manitoba-based Xplore Mobile, which offered wireless service to customers in the province, shut down in August 2022.

Globalive chairman Anthony Lacavera says he sees Manitoba as a starting point in building a new national independent wireless carrier.

He says Globalive will be participating in the federal government's upcoming spectrum auctions.
