The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that BCE's Bell Canada and Telus now have service on the busiest sections of the Toronto subway system. The Globe's Alexandra Posadzki writes that last month, federal Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne forced Rogers to give BCE and Telus access to the Rogers-owned wireless network in the Toronto Transit Commission subway tunnels, saying that the telcos could face penalties if they failed to make cellular service available to all riders by Oct. 3. Prior to Monday's inclusion of BCE and Telus, only customers of Rogers and Quebecor's Freedom Mobile had wireless service on the TTC subway. The intervention by Mr. Champagne ended a months-long impasse between the carriers that began in April when Rogers announced 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 the subway system. After the acquisition, the companies were unable to reach a deal over access to the Rogers-owned network, with both sides accusing the other of delaying negotiations. Bell is currently in negotiations with Rogers regarding the rates for accessing the network.
