Small Canadian wireless players hang up on industry group

TORONTO (Reuters) – The three companies that entered Canada’s wireless market after a 2008 auction of airwaves have pulled out of the industry’s main trade group, complaining that it is biased in favor of established competitors that dominate the sector.

The trio – Vimpelcom Ltd’s (VIP.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) Wind Mobile, and privately held Public Mobile and Mobilicity – said on Wednesday that as a result of their withdrawal, the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) could no longer claim to speak on behalf of the entire industry.
