Telus and Bell co-operatively built out their network across the country, so it would be interesting if Bell blocks Telus out in Manitoba... there could even be covenants in their agreement to prevent such a situation?
IIRC, the only place Bell and Telus didn't partner to build a network is Saskatchewan, where it just didn't make sense from a business perspective... here they decided to ink an agreement to allow Sasktel customers to roam on the Bell/Telus network as long as Bell and Telus could themselves use the Sasktel network.
Front the sounds of the above comments, in Manitoba MTS and Rogers partnered for one network and Bell/Telus partnered for another, which isn't as good as the MTS/Rogers network?
It's interesting how convoluted the wireless market is in Canada considering there are so few players.
