MONTREAL – Back in September of 2010, Videotron turned on its own network and made its entry into the wireless market, the company noted today.
The company began learning wireless in 2006, when it started offering mobile service over the Rogers network and then in 2007, it bought 40 megahertz of set-aside spectrum in the AWS auction, allowing it to begin building its own network.
“Quebecor had been gearing up to enter the mobile services market for several years,” said Pierre Karl Péladeau, president and CEO of parent company Quebecor in a press release today. “At the time, we made the case to government authorities that consumers were suffering from the conspicuous lack of competition and needed better prices, better services and better technology. More than 10 years later, it is clear that we have succeeded: prices in Québec are lower than in the rest of the country and Quebecers get more value for their money.”
