Globe says BCE pushes CRTC over Toronto subway access

The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that BCE is asking the CRTC to intervene in its now escalating dispute with Rogers over access to the Rogers-owned wireless network on Toronto's subway system. The Globe's Alexandra Posadzki writes that BCE, the parent of Bell Canada, has filed an application with the broadcast regulator seeking a series of urgent orders, including one prohibiting Rogers from onboarding its own customers onto the network until it is able to provide access to all wireless carriers. BCE also wants Rogers to provide all carriers seeking to access the network with engineering assessments and to allow them to build their own infrastructure to connect themselves to the network "as soon as technically feasible." The application escalates the weeks-long dispute between Rogers and BCE and Telus over cellphone service on the subway system in Canada's most populous city. The dispute began after Rogers 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's subway tunnels. Since then, BCE and Telus have been pushing for a joint build model.
