Furthermore Freedom is the only telco usable in the Toronto subway, with service in all stations and two Line-1 tunnel sections (Vaughan to Wilson and St.George to Yonge/Bloor).
Rogers has bought out BAI's network, the company which had been providing cell service in the subway. They will have some service in place by Sept., though it will take longer to cover the entire subway. Bell, Rogers and Telus have all said the BAI network was inadequate for them to use. Rogers has committed to sharing their network with competitors, but the discussion is how. Bell & Telus want an ownership share, which is not what Rogers has in mind. Rogers will be providing 4G & 5G, but BAI had been providing only 3G and some 4G, IIRC. Also, Videotron is a regional company, which has to roam on another carrier outside their areas. Acquiring will only slightly improve that.
