Globe says Rogers offers olive branch on subway access

The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Rogers has proposed a framework aimed at reaching agreements with other carriers regarding the terms under which its competitors will be able to access its wireless network on Toronto's subway system. The Globe's Alexandra Posadzki writes that the framework was shared with federal Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne last month. Rogers said it is confident that it will be able to reach deals with other carriers in a timely manner, but has proposed a dispute resolution process to fall back on if commercial negotiations fail. The wireless giant announced in April that it was acquiring BAI Canada Inc., the Canadian branch of an Australian telecommunications infrastructure company with the sole right to develop wireless infrastructure inside Toronto Transit Commission tunnels. The price was not disclosed. BCE and Telus have been pressing Mr. Champagne to help them secure a commitment from Rogers that their customers will be allowed onto the network concurrently with Rogers customers. BCE and Telus are concerned that Rogers is attempting to gain a commercial advantage by delaying access to the network for non-Rogers customers for a period of time.
