About
Us

Free the North was an idea born from Canadian telecommunications entrepreneur Samer Bishay. Bishay has been a driving force of innovation in the telecommunications space in Canada since the turn of the 21st century. As CEO of Iristel, a Canadian Voice over Internet Protocol service provider, it services Canada coast-to-coast-to-coast as is a designated competitive local exchange carrier. Iristel also operates Ice Wireless, a Canadian mobile network operator and telecommunications company that provides 3G/LTE mobility services, mobile broadband Internet, and fixed line telephone in the territories of Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

Bishay is also the founder of Sugar Mobile, a Wi-Fi based wireless provider offering Canadians mobile access for only $19/month creating more competition in the Canadian wireless market. Due to pressure and lobbying from the big three mobile companies who felt threatened, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (the Canadian government’s regulatory body) limited Sugar Mobile’s growth potential restricting where subscribers can live, leaving the rest of Canadians with the same limited options and high mobile prices they’ve had for years.

Today, Samer Bishay sees a better option and new horizon for wireless freedom in Canada using small cell technology and network sharing with Free the North. Join him and Free the North to launch a democratized wireless network in Canada.
