Bell and Telus had expressed concern over whether their customers would be able to use wireless service on the transit system after Rogers announced it had acquired BAI Communications’ Canadian arm

Speaking Wednesday at a lunch hosted by Canadian Club Toronto, Staffieri pledged the network “will work for everybody.”

Bell and Telus had expressed concern over whether their customers would be able to use wireless service on the transit system afterBAI Communications’ Canadian arm, which has held the rights to the Toronto Transit Commission’s wireless network since 2012. Rogers plans to upgrade BAI’s existing network, which covers around one-quarter of the subway’s underground tunnels, to ensure 5G capacity over the next nine months.

“The TTC has committed to give us as much access as possible,” said Staffieri. “We want to do this aggressively.” The Shaw merger, which was first announced in March 2021, was cleared late last month when Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne agreed to the transfer of Freedom Mobile’s wireless licences from Shaw to Quebecor Inc.’s Videotron.

“We will not be undersold just because of the price. You can expect us to be very aggressive in our value propositions on that,” he said.
