Canada's largest wireless companies said yesterday they will let their customers use their wireless Internet access networks, known as WiFi hot spots, interchangeably.
Rogers Wireless Communications Inc., Bell Mobility Inc., Fido and Telus Mobility already run more than 500 hot spots in locations ranging from coffee shops and stores to airports and golf courses, letting their subscribers access the Internet on the go.
Customers who use these hot spots, regardless of the wireless carrier that runs them, will be charged by their own wireless provider.
Each of these hot spots will have the same identifier brand and connection methods. RCI.NV.B (TSX) was unchanged at $36.92. BCE (TSX) rose 1 cent to $28.86. T (TSX) fell 49 cents to $41.42.
