Bell Canada is set to launch internet services in Western Canada, utilizing Telus’s fibre network. This strategic move marks a significant shift for Bell, which had previously resisted infrastructure sharing. The service will initially be available to Bell’s mobile customers in British Columbia and Alberta, with special bundle pricing. This expansion provides Bell access to approximately 3.4 million homes connected to Telus’s fibre system. Bell’s CEO highlighted the importance of fibre in driving future growth, indicating a renewed focus on fibre rollout as it phases out copper lines. This initiative is expected to generate substantial revenue over the next three years.
