Will Bell Aliant bid on spectrum in the upcoming AWS auction? Should it be thinking about it?
When Bell Aliant was transformed, its wireless assets were traded to Bell Canada as part of the shuffle. As a result, Bell Aliant is an extremely large ILEC with no wireless spectrum of its own.
What happens if Aliant becomes independent of Bell in the wake of a shift in the ownership of the mother-ship? Would the private equity owners spin out Bell Aliant? Will Aliant’s executive team and its independent trustees consider spectrum options to safeguard minority unit holder interests?
Is Bell Aliant considered to be a “new entrant” under an auction regime that supports incentives for increased competition?
