It sounds like Vimpel is sending in one of its trusted international honchos to Canada. That can only mean that they're going to make Wind and the coming spectrum auction a priority and are going to stand by their Canadian operation and keep investing in it to buy spectrum and anything else they need. Despite Lacavera's negative reaction to the announced auction rules and Naguib Sawiris' doom-and-gloom pronounements last fall, Bessada's move means they're here to stay in Canada.
