Available footprint for Bell Mobility Inc.’s and TELUS Communications Inc.’s wholesale roaming services

Summary

Roaming allows Canadians to temporarily use their cellphone on other networks when they travel outside of their service provider’s local coverage area.

In this decision, the Commission is updating its wholesale roaming framework to allow regional wireless carriers to obtain access to Bell Mobility Inc. (Bell Mobility) and TELUS Communications Inc.’s (TELUS) entire shared radio access network when subscribing to either company’s roaming services.

This change will give regional carriers more choice when setting up national roaming coverage for their customers, help regional carriers negotiate better rates for wholesale roaming services, and reduce regional carriers’ administrative costs.
