Bell Launches Internet in Western Canada Using Telus Fibre
Bell has reversed its stance and will now utilize Telus infrastructure to offer internet services in Western Canada.
Following a period of resistance against the ruling, Bell will begin providing services in Alberta and other Western Canadian regions using Telus technology, with launches expected to start in November. Initially, the service will only be available to customers with Bell's mobility service, with special bundle prices to be announced.
Bell had previously argued against the CRTC ruling that allowed major telecoms to share services on each other's infrastructure, claiming it would stifle innovation.
This move marks a significant shift for the company, which had initially halted infrastructure spending to prevent Telus from expanding into Ontario and Quebec.
