The CBC's Aaron Saltzman has the story of Ting, the Canadian mobile phone company that isn't available in Canada.


Ting doesn't own its own cell network. Instead, it buys network access from a telecom company at a wholesale price and then sells that to its subscribers.


In the U.S., Ting pays Sprint to use its mobile network, but here in Canada, Ting says, Bell, Telus and Rogers won't play ball.


"We would love to be in Canada," said Ting CEO Elliott Noss. "Nobody will — at least at this juncture — sell us network."
