\"Public<\/a>BMV Holdings is announcing a name change tomorrow, together with plans to announce “a key technological development.”<\/p>\n

The boilerplate language at the bottom of the invitation may signal plans to operate under the brand name “Public Mobile”:<\/p>\n

Formed in 2008, Public Mobile, formerly known as BMV Holdings, is a value-based wireless carrier offering customers flat-rate wireless voice and data services in Ontario and Quebec commencing in the third quarter of 2009. The company’s PCS G Band spectrum covers almost 19 million Canadians in the Windsor to Quebec City corridor across Ontario and Quebec. G Band spectrum is an extension of the existing PCS spectrum in the 1.9 GHz range and shares the same characteristics as spectrum currently used by wireless carriers across North America. At a price of only $52 million, the PCS G Band spectrum will enable Public Mobile to deliver a cost-efficient consumer wireless across the two provinces. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Will Public Mobile be the public face of BMV?<\/p>\n

Update<\/b> [February 5, 11:30 am]
As we predicted yesterday, BMV officially launched its new operating brand, Public Mobile. At its launch, Alek Krstajic also placed the first commercial G Band wireless call on a standard CDMA phone, manufactured by ZTE. Alek will be speaking on June 17 at The 2009 Canadian Telecom Summit<\/strong><\/a> in June. Early Bird rates are available until the end of February. Have you registered yet?<\/span><\/p>\n
