TORONTO – Nascent wireless provider dotmobile is one step closer to launch after receiving its first telecommunications license from the CRTC.
“The first license issued to us is called BITS – Basic International Telecommunications Services – which is needed to provide calling to the US. So, now we’ve got the go-ahead to connect our members to the rest of the world. Cart before the horse as far as licenses go, but hey – we’re one step closer!” reads a post by CXO Alex Bauman.
Bauman added that the company has registered for several licenses, including Wireless Service Provider and Proposed Full MVNO, “both important milestones on becoming a Full Mobile Virtual Network Operator.”
The company has finalized a location for its Toronto headquarters, continues the post, and expects to make more announcements shortly after meeting with phone accessory manufacturers and potential innovation and technology partners.
Operating as an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator), dotmobile plans to connect consumers and small businesses to existing national LTE networks starting in 2020.
