We’re at a very interesting time for the wireless industry in Canada. We’re on the eve of new entrants into the industry but already the landscape looks a lot different and already a lot more competitive than just a few years ago. Here’s a snapshot, form our perspective [your perspective may vary] of the state of wireless in Canada. Stay tuned for where we go from here….

I don't quite understand the spectrum auctions. Hope someone can enlighten me.
The available frequencies are limited.
They were all put on auction and companies bought blocks of frequencies.
Some blocks were meant for new entrants while others were allowed for everyone else.
Now the auctions are over, and the frequencies are allocated.

So how does a new company enter the scene. Having not participated in the auctions, are they supposed to work out a deal with these individual companies that own the frequencies? How does this work? Am I missing something ?
