Rogers alleges that it has been trying for two years to get access to poles owned by Telus so that it can attach its own cellular equipment onto them
“Telus cannot credibly claim in light of these facts that negotiations with Rogers to access the TTC [network] – infrastructure that Rogers only acquired in April of this year and that has required detailed technical assessment by Rogers since closing to determine its capabilities – have not been timely and regulatory intervention is required to remediate an undue preference,” the company argues.
The issue of cellphone service on the TTC gained prominence after a string of violent attacks on the transit system, which sparked calls for the telecoms to offer service inside the subway tunnels as a safety measure. Mr. Champagne’s department issues licences for spectrum, the airwaves used to transmit wireless services. Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada launched a consultation in July with a view to potentially imposing additional conditions on those licences.
