In an effort to bring their new 4G wireless network to more communities nation-wide, Telus Mobility announced that they will be hiring 3,000 people this year, nearly 1000 of which will be in Ontario. The hiring spree is part of an overall investment of $650 million in Ontario alone on their LTE network in an attempt to compete with Rogers and their stronghold in the populated province.
According to Telus’ Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) Joe Natale, “These investments will help support growth across our wireline and wireless services, meeting the exponential demand for advanced communications technology that we see across the province, and indeed across the country. They’ll improve the reach and capacity of our network for existing business customers and consumers. And of particular importance, they will help to connect additional rural and small communities. At the same time, hiring 900 people will help us support the future economic prosperity of Ontario.”
As Canada’s other wireless providers are pushing aggressively to introduce their LTE networks, it should be a relief to Telus’ customers that they too are acting quickly rather than reactively to bring better service to more customers Canada wide.
