The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition Telus is joining Rogers Communications in sharing figures that shed light on the frequency of state demands from government authorities for customer information. The Globe's Christine Dobby writes Telus is publishing its first so-called "transparency report" Thursday morning, revealing that it received 103,462 requests for customer information from government officials and law enforcement agencies in 2013. That figure covers six categories, including requests accompanied by court orders or warrants, name and address checks and emergency requests from police. What is not dislosed is how often it complied. In the United States, Verizon Communications and AT&T have begun publishing transparency reports and British telecom giant Vodafone Group PLC issued a lengthy report of its own this June. BCE and Shaw Communications have not released such reports. BCE will say only that it complies with the law; Shaw has not responded to requests for comment. Christopher Parsons at the University of Toronto says missing BCE's Bell Canada is a big hole, since Bell is the largest telecommunications provider in the country. "Bell Canada needs to be on board," he says.
