Today we are one step closer to launching affordable and awesome wireless service,” says Algis Akstinas, CEO of dotmobile™.
On January 13, 2020, the CRTC will hold a public hearing to review the state of the wireless telecommunications industry in Canada.

We’ve presented major Canadian MNOs with our vision and are in the process of building it. Now the clock is ticking for the MNOs to respond to the needs of the underserved,” says Algis Akstinas, CEO of dotmobile™.
