Freedom Mobile Inc. is a Canadian wireless telecommunications provider owned by Quebecor. It has 6% market share of the Canadian wireless market, mostly in urban areas of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. Freedom Mobile is the fourth-largest wireless carrier in Canada, with 2,290,497 subscribers as of November 30, 2022.[3]
Founded in 2008 as Wind Mobile by the telecommunications company Globalive, Freedom was one of several new mobile carriers launched in Canada in 2008 after a government initiative to encourage competition in the wireless sector alongside Mobilicity (later acquired by Rogers Communications) and Public Mobile (later acquired by Telus). It initially launched mobile data and voice services in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, Ontario, on December 16, 2009, and two days later in Calgary, Alberta.[4] Since then, Southern Ontario has been the main target of network expansion: first with Ottawa in Q1 2011, and then with about half a dozen additional regions, the most recent being Cornwall, Cobourg, Belleville, Trenton, Brockville, and Pembroke on March 8, 2019.
In 2016, Wind Mobile was acquired by Shaw Communications and subsequently renamed Freedom Mobile. On June 17, 2022, Shaw Communications, Rogers Communications and Québecor jointly announced an agreement for the sale of Freedom Mobile to Québecor, parent of Vidéotron, pending approval of Competition Bureau and Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development. The sale of Freedom to Québecor was approved on March 31, 2023, and closed on April 3, 2023.
