Hello Ecua,.... my outlook has not changed as I have posted....
Verizon is not out of the picture yet, When I started posting about MyScreen I was talking about Wind Mobile as being the carrier.
Verizon came into the picture a few months ago and recently bought back shares from vodafone. 45% of Verizon was owned by Vodafone for 130 billion dollars.
do not count Verizon out.... Wind mobile was only 700 million dollars....
later will post some articles that support my outlook...
With the bids in today things are getting ready....still a week away from any NRs relating to the Spectrum Auction... so no news for a week....
How does this effect MyScreen?...... Wind Mobile as per the beginning of my posting I stated Wind and MyScreen were already partnered up....
again at the beginning of my posting I explained MyScreen and Wind mobile's connection (partnership).... even back then I had investors disagree with that outlook....
have to hang tight for a week or so before the NRs startup relating the the auction.... MyScreen needs a carrier for startup.....
here is an article for your reading pleasures.... end of week with post a few more supporting my outlook..... now is too early.... a few more days or so....
Canada's Wind says will bid in upcoming spectrum auction
9:27PM ET on Monday Sep 16, 2013 by Thomson Reuters
TORONTO, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Canada's Wind Mobile said it will bid in next year's auction of highly prized 700 MHz spectrum, quashing speculation it might not do so after its main backer, Europe's Vimpelcom, hired bankers to assess a possible sale of the Canadian firm.
The auction of the airwaves, valued for their ability to penetrate buildings and travel long distances, is due to start in January. But bidders need to confirm their initial interest to the Canadian government by Tuesday.
Wind, the country's fourth largest wireless operator, said in a statement on Monday it wanted to "reaffirm its long-term commitment to Canada."
But the strength of Wind's bid will likely be limited by its relatively small size.
It has about 650,000 wireless customers. Its much older rivals - Rogers Communications Inc, BCE Inc, and Telus Corp - have between 7 million and 10 million each.
Wind only launched operations after first acquiring spectrum in a 2008 auction.
Next year's auction is expected to raise billions of dollars for the Canadian government. Wireless companies hope securing this spectrum will help them support booming demand for mobile data such as video streaming

Verizon may not move for Canadian cellcos; Wind might bid for Mobilicity
16 Aug 2013
CanadaCanada
Canadian newspaper The Globe & Mail reported yesterday that US giant Verizon was putting off its previously publicised potential acquisitions of second-tier Canadian cellcos Wind Mobile and Mobilicity while contemplating taking part in Ottawa’s January 2014 700MHz 4G wireless spectrum licence auction. The deadline for initial bids is 17 September 2013, and if Verizon does decide to participate, rules prevent it from continuing negotiations on acquisition deals until after the auction has finished. In response to the news, Wind Mobile’s CEO and chairman Anthony Lacavera reiterated a previously stated possibility that his company could make a takeover bid for Mobilicity – if it does not have to bid against Verizon. Lacavera said that the latest report of Verizon’s intentions means that Wind would consider buying Mobilicity to narrow down the competition in the 4G auction while also creating a stronger competitor. ‘It puts me in a position to move on Mobilicity before the auction,’ Lacavera stated, while adding: ‘I can’t outbid Verizon. So if they really want to buy it before the auction I’m not going to be successful. It’s just a mathematical reality.’
