Courtroom Drama Spills Over to Canada: Telus vs. Rogers
by admin on Nov.25, 2009, under Lawsuit, Rogers, Telus
Ok, so it was going to happen sooner or later, and in fact there were indications of this previously, but that’s all besides the point now.
Telus, rather quickly after launching their HSDPA+ network, sued Rogers over their claims as being “Canada’s most reliable network.” Of course this all makes sense. First off, I should probably be referring to this as the Bell/Telus network, but that’s besides the point. So in my personal, and totally non-law-based, opinion I strongly believe that Telus has a case. I mean their network covers most of Canada – not sure how that compares with Rogers, should see sometime soon – their network is also just as fast as Rogers, that being 21 MBps.
Bottom line is that the judge sided with Telus on the matter, saying “the present network technology is at least equivalent between Rogers and Telus.”
But really the most entertaining part is going to be the commercials. It will be really entertaining if the gloves come off and we get the same thing going as AT&T and Verizon are doing in the states. Guess I should look into how the two networks compare, eh?
