The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Feb. 13, edition  that  about  40
per cent of the new customers Microcell Telecommunications signed on in the
fourth quarter were in Vancouver, attracted by the Montreal-based company's
innovative  City Fido mobile phone plan. The Globe's Dave Ebner writes that
City Fido, which offers unlimited calling for $40 a month,  was  introduced
in  October.  Andre  Tremblay,  Microcell  president  and  chief  executive
officer, said it was the "true highlight" of the  October-December  period.
Mr.  Tremblay further described the quarter as "the successful culmination"
of the company's efforts to re-establish  itself  after  a  court-protected
restructuring  earlier  in  2003.  He  said fourth quarter results "clearly
confirm" that Microcell is poised  for  long-term  success.  In  the  three
months ended Dec. 31, Microcell attracted 107,422 new customers to increase
its total to 1.25 million. About 72,000 customers were on City Fido at  the
end of the year with about 40,000 of those being new Microcell subscribers.
