Confused by the title? Just hang with me, it will all make sense in a second.
Rogers bought a ton of 700 MHz spectrum in the recent spectrum auction. And based on this announcement, they are putting it to use:
“We went into this auction with a clear plan to win the best spectrum for our customers. There is clear demand for the ultimate video experience and it will be a big part of how we bring the NHL to hockey fans,” said Guy Laurence, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Now, Rogers owns the broadcast rights to the National Hockey League for the next 12 years and one of their goals was to bring the NHL to every platform possible. That includes to mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Thus having the bandwidth to broadcast games to those mobile devices is going to be a requirement. Rogers now has lots of bandwidth to play with which will make watching NHL games just like watching them at home on your TV.
But even if you’re not a hockey fan, you’ll still win if you’re a Rogers customer with an LTE device that plays in this new spectrum:
Rogers customers will be able to use their existing LTE devices as soon as the new spectrum is deployed, which will begin during 2014.
So you’ll score faster speeds even if you’re not an NHL fan. Talk about a power play.
