Data & Audio Visual Enterprises Wireless Inc (aka DAVE Wireless), another winner of the spectrum auction, has officially adopted the brand name Mobilicity to market their services under. The name was chosen because it supposedly evokes "simplicity for city-based customers".

Much like WIND Mobile, its closest rival that has recently launched,  they've announced that the first market they enter will be Toronto in Spring followed by Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Ottawa later this year.

At launch, they'll offer BlackBerry, Nokia, and Sony Ericsson devices "at or around $100". How they are going to pull these low prices off with their contract-free plans is still unknown.

All of you walking around the streets of Vancouver and Whistler, here's a heads up - you're being watched!

Nearly 1,000 Olympic security cameras went live yesterday. The RCMP-led Olympic Integrated Security Unit have installed more than nine hundred closed-circuit TV cameras in and around the Olympic venues. The City of Vancouver will use the ninety cameras to watch the downtown streets and LiveCity sites.

As Vancouver gets busier with just 10 days before the Games begin, these security cameras are a part of the $1 billion price tag for the Games' security. It's an effort to watch closely for crime, protest, and any medical emergency. But, privacy watchdogs are nervous over the electronic surveillance.
