WITH CEO BRAD SHAW telling us a few weeks ago that Shaw Communications will have an announcement on its wireless intentions before Labour Day weekend, the speculation is that the company will finally reveal what it plans to do on the wireless front sometime today (Sept. 1).
Besides, who wants to bury such news the Friday (tomorrow) before the last long weekend of the summer.
Back in the winter, Shaw Communications decided to stop its traditional wireless build and reassess its options. Some thought a partnership with Rogers was in the works, others were speculating on the purchase by Shaw of one of the wireless newcomers (Wind, Mobilicity, Public Mobile) and still more the adoption of the Wi-Fi everywhere model with which some American cable companies have had success.
While Shaw did not respond to an e-mail request for confirmation of a Thursday announcement, we’ve been told by others to keep our eyes on the news wires this morning.
