All TTC subway riders getting cellphone service starting Oct. 3, federal minister says

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Speaking at a news conference at Toronto City Hall, François-Philippe Champagne had a strong message for Canada's major telecom providers: "enough is enough."

Champagne said that following an expedited public consultation process, "the licences of all major carriers will be revised to ensure that all TTC riders will now be able to have coverage in the subway system in Toronto."

In August, Rogers Communications Inc. rolled out 5G wireless service to its customers in core parts of the city's downtown subway network, but a feud continues with other major carriers over terms of access for all transit riders.

Bell and Telus both have advocated for a joint build of the subway's 5G network using a consortium model similar to that of Montreal's Metro system, rather than a pay-for-access approach.

Following an expedited public consultation process, Champagne announced the licences to operate of all major carriers will be revised to ensure all TTC riders will be able to have coverage in the subway system.

"With the federal government now forcing Rogers to finally work with other carriers, we look forward to providing our customers with underground wireless coverage in the coming weeks," she said in a statement.

The original article contains 910 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 79%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Waiting for the TTC network access surcharge in 6 months to a year from the three providers.

Love how Rogers, Bell and Telus are pointing fingers at each other. AFAIK Rogers first stated that they didn’t commit to sharing the infrastructure with Bell and Telus at first, to the surprise and dismay of the TTC. Now Rogers is blaming Bell and Telus for dragging their feet… glad to see the Toronto telco market continues to be an absolute shit show. /s
