New media incubator itemus Inc plans to build a new Internet-based wireless network if it’s among a handful of winners in the federal government’s radio spectrum auction, scheduled to begin January 15. The Toronto-based startup has taken a 20 per cent stake in Wispra Inc, one of the players vying to win cellular spectrum set aside in 1995 by Industry Canada for next-generation personal communications services (PCS) services.
