Rogers Communications Inc. in May sent federal Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne a framework for reaching a deal with other telecom providers over wireless service in Toronto's subway system, the company said Monday.

In a post on its website Monday evening, the telecom company said it proposed a framework to reach agreements with all carriers to join the network under "commercially reasonable terms" in a timely manner.However, Rogers said it also proposed a dispute resolution process in case it's unable to reach deals with the other carriers. It did not share details of the framework or of the dispute resolution process.

Rogers is buying the Canadian operations of BAI Communications Inc., which previously won the contract to build and operate the TTC's public Wi-Fi and cellular network in 2012, but only Freedom Mobile had signed on to provide coverage to its customers through BAI's network. Champagne said in his April letter that he wants the telecom companies to reach agreements that would allow any company to access the TTC network.

The existing network covers around a quarter of the subway's underground tunnels. Rogers will also build a 5G network for the entire system.
