Canada-Wide Wireless Broadband Network Planned

Posted by Zonk on from the big-maple-leaf dept.

twilight30 writes "From the Globe and Mail, Rogers Communications Inc. and Bell Canada have said they will put aside their competitive differences to jointly build and manage a Canada-wide wireless broadband network. It is hoped they will initially reach more than two-thirds of Canadians in less than three years." From the article: "The two communications companies will pool their wireless broadband spectrum into a joint venture called Inukshuk Internet Inc. The network will cover more than 40 cities, and 50 rural and remote communities across the country. Users will be able to access the Internet and use voice, video streaming and data applications both inside their home, as well as on the go."

    How much C$ does the Liberal party stand to skim off the deal? Enough to finance the toilet drain gun "registry" that has succeeded in registering a pathetic number of guns?
