Telus To Spend Big On Network Upgrades In Ontario

Telus announced yesterday that spending more than $2.1 billion in new infrastructure and facilities across Ontario through 2018.

Here’s what they’re doing:

  • Upgrading wireless towers across Ontario to 4G LTE, enhancing the already exceptional speed, coverage and reliability experienced by Telus customers
  • Supporting eHealth Ontario and their mandate to improve health services by connecting healthcare providers with timely access to electronic health records
  • Continuing their focused investment in network, security, cloud computing and Internet-connected devices to facilitate Internet of Things (IoT) growth in Ontario
  • Expanding Telus WISE, a free Internet and smartphone safety and security educational program available to all Canadians. Since its launch in 2013, this program has reached more than 100,000 Ontarians through more than 150 community learning sessions

It really sounds like Telus is going to go toe to toe with the other members of the “big three” telcos. This should be interesting to watch.
