# This script fetches Industry Canada "Spectrum Direct" information and grovels
# through it to display data about Wind Mobile towers. Currently, it will spit
# out Ottawa tower locations to stdout.
#
# Note that as far as I know, these are NOT the handset-servicing towers, nor
# are they all of Wind's towers. These are the locations of licensed
# frequencies typically used for point-to-point backhaul. Wind also has
# licenses for non-location-specific 39GHz spectrum:
# http://sd.ic.gc.ca/pls/engdoc_anon/speclic_browser$licence.QueryViewByKey?P_LIC_NO=5089668&Z_CHK=32695
# which is possibly (note: I know nothing about the wireless industry I haven't
# read on the internet) going to be used to connect their handset-servicing
# towers to the wireless backbone implemented by the towers shown in the list
# retrieved by this tool.

# URI for text version of results obtained by searching:
