According to a spokesperson, on Friday the map for Ottawa would be publicized.

After the launch of service in Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton the company's blog stated, Vancouver launch is "getting closer every day."

Although they began with a rejection by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the Central Government moved in and overruled the CRTC, making path for Wind to begin action.

According to Industry analysts, Wind is aspiring to put up a national wireless network in order to vie with Bell, Rogers and Telus.
