Rogers and SpaceX plan to use the latter\u0027s Starlink low\u002Dearth orbit satellites and Rogers\u0027 national wireless spectrum.
While Rogers didn’t specify a timeline for expanding coverage through the SpaceX partnership, it said it would begin to expand satellite-to-phone coverage in 2024 across remote regions and rural highways by way of its agreement with Virginia-based Lynk Global.
Since then, the three largest carriers reached a formal agreement to “ensure and guarantee” emergency roaming and other mutual assistance in the case of a major outage after Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne directed the companies to create a backup plan. Earlier on Wednesday, Rogers reported its profits increased by 30 per cent to $511 million in the most recent quarter as it prepared to close a deal to buy Shaw Communications Inc.
“There’s lots of work to do, but I am very encouraged with the energy and excitement that I have seen in both the east and west as we bring these two strong companies together,” he said on a Wednesday call with analysts. It must also spend $5.5 billion to expand 5G coverage and additional network services, as well as a further $1 billion to connect rural, remote and Indigenous communities.
The profit amounted to diluted earnings per share of $1 for the period ended March 31, up from 77 cents during its previous first quarter.
