It's highly unlikely you're going to get any new cell phone provider in Canada that doesn't piggyback off either Bell, Telus or Rogers' networks.
Think of the billions alone in start up costs that would be required to deploy a new, separate network.

Oh they are? I didn't know...my bad...on their site they say they are completely new and revolutionary
In any case virgin is a global empire - it's not like it needs anyone's help you know, but you might be right Is there anything that Richard Branson doesn't do/own yet?

They are a completely new and separate company from Bell that will offer their own plans, phones etc.
However they will not actually own and operate their own cell network. They'll simply be buying network time off of Bell. Primus Canada already has a similar arrangment in place with Microcell / Fido (now Rogers of course.

Virgin in the U.S. is no big deal really.
You might like T-Mobile though.
