Wind Mobile parent mulls Mobilicity bid

The parent company of wireless startup Wind Mobile is taking another look at buying Mobilicity, a small rival that is operating under court protection from its creditors. Wind Mobile CEO Anthony Lacavera said Tuesday that Globalive Wireless Management Corp. has applied to bid in the court-monitored sale of Mobilicity. The deadline to submit bids for Mobilicity is Dec. 9. But Lacavera said it’s not definitive that Wind will bid and wouldn’t comment on the possible value of Mobilicity, which provides cellphone service in Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver to about 190,000 customers.
