Globe sees Rogers's Toronto subway tiff get tedious

The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that Rogers Communications is accusing Telus of being "hypocritical" in a new regulatory filing as the dispute between the telcos over access to the Rogers-owned wireless network inside the Toronto subway system continues to drag on. The Globe's Alexandra Posadzki writes that the conflict between Rogers and its rivals Telus and BCE began several months ago, after Rogers acquired BAI Canada Inc., the Canadian branch of an Australian company with the sole right to develop wireless infrastructure inside Toronto Transit Commission subway tunnels. Although Rogers has vowed to work with the other carriers to grant them access to the network, the companies appear to be deadlocked, with each side accusing the other of refusing to negotiate. Toronto-based Rogers launched 5G service on the busiest portions of the subway last week amid consultations by federal Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, as well as a continuing review by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). The country's Telecommunications Act prohibits carriers from giving themselves or others what it deems an unreasonable advantage, or undue preference.
