As of March 2014, Canadian telecom companies that have been inactive with their wireless spectrum will be forced to abdicate their rights to spectrum licenses. This process has been put in place because there are carriers that face the accusation of holding onto wireless signals as a preventative competitive advantage rather than to utilize the use of wireless for themselves. Launch 3 Telecom is very active in the wireless market as a distributor of new surplus, used, and refurbished equipment.
