Globe says BAI expands in Toronto subway without Big 3

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition Toronto transit riders can now use their wireless devices to connect to the Internet in a third subway station, although it will be several more years before they can expect seamless underground coverage. The Globe's Christine Dobby writes BAI Canada said Tuesday it has turned on WiFi service at Bay station, adding to the heavily trafficked commuter hubs BloorYonge and St. George stations, the first two Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) stations to get WiFi in December, 2013. BAI's sister companies offer wireless services for transit systems in Hong Kong, New York and Singapore. The company said work is already under way to connect Wellesley, College, Dundas and Union stations, which should have service later this fall. After the station platforms and surrounding areas are connected, BAI will begin working on bringing service to the subway tunnels, but chief executive officer Ken Ranger told The Globe that would not be up and running until some time between 2017 and 2019. The company is paying the TTC $25-million for the 20-year deal and makes money by showing users an ad before they connect. BAI does not have agreements with BCE, Telus or Rogers.
