MONTRÉAL, Oct. 12,
2023 /CNW/ - Quebecor is pleased to announce the
launch of its Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) service and
the extension of the service areas of its Videotron, Fizz and
Freedom Mobile brands in Canada.
The phased expansion will make their services available to millions
of additional Canadian consumers.
"The creation of the regulatory framework for MVNO services by
the CRTC was a crucial step in strengthening competition in
Canada's wireless sector," said
Pierre Karl Péladeau, President and CEO of Quebecor. "This
framework enables us to step up the roll-out of our wireless
products and services beyond the reach of our current network
infrastructure starting today and give millions of Canadians access
to more choice, better service quality and better prices."
The CRTC's MVNO framework allows established wireless carriers
to offer their services to customers outside their network
footprint in areas where they own wireless spectrum.
