The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that federal Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne is forcing Rogers Communications to give BCE and Telus access to the Rogers-owned wireless network on Toronto's subway system by Oct. 3. The Globe's Alexandra Posadzki writes that Mr. Champagne is also requiring that all wireless carriers that offer service in Toronto have commercial agreements with Rogers in place to provide service on the Toronto Transit Commission within the next 100 days, and that cellular coverage be available throughout the entire subway system within three years. The requirements are being imposed via new conditions on the telcos' wireless licences. "It's sad that we have to do this -- to force them to do so. But I think now they understand that we mean business," Mr. Champagne told reporters during a press conference held alongside Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow on Monday. Rogers launched 5G service on what it said were the busiest sections of the subway system last month amid a dispute with rival telcos that have been seeking access to the Rogers-owned network. Rogers owns BAI Canada Inc., which has the sole right to develop wireless infrastructure inside the subway system.
