Barrett Broadband Networks, a Barrett Corp. company, has acquired 37 spectrum licences in the 3.5 GHz band from Alberta-based Pathcom Wireless Inc. The deal not only includes the spectrum licences – the transfer was approved by Industry Canada earlier this month – but Pathcom's subscribers and network in southern Alberta as well. The transaction allows Barrett to take a significant step forward in providing broadband access to rural Canadians.
