Mobilicity launches in Vancouver November 18

[TorontoColin]

Hot of the heels of their launch today in Edmonton, Mobilicity announced they will be launching their Vancouver coverage tomorrow, Novemeber 18.

November 17, 2010 – Mobilicity today marched into Vancouver, rallying against wireless contracts and the surprise charges and extra fees consumers have been forced to pay the country’s incumbent carriers – until now.

The unlimited wireless carrier, which will have over 100 points of distribution in the Greater Vancouver Area when it launches its state-of-the-art 3.5G network tomorrow, deployed its troops (literally) to spread the good news to Vancouverites.

Dressed in magenta fatigues (Mobilicity’s signature colour) and singing the praises of contract-free unlimited wireless, the ‘Magenta Militia’ paraded through the city while Mobilicity executives held a press conference nearby at the carrier’s corporate store in Richmond.

Expect news on the imminent Ottawa launch as soon as tomorrow.

Is Calgary still scheduled for 2011?

[TorontoColin]

Calgary is next after Ottawa, but I wouldn't expect it until 2011 sometime. They haven't given a firm timeline on Calgary, and as there is less than two months remaining in the year it seems unlikely to happen within 2010.
