As the city filed it

Councillor Paula Fletcher, Ward 14, Toronto-Danforth, has submitted the following Administrative Inquiry: I am submitting this Administrative Inquiry under Municipal Code Section 27-7.11 for the May 10th meeting of City Council. On April 10th it was announced that the company that owns the Toronto Transit Commission cellular and Wi-Fi networks (BAI Canada) would be sold to Rogers Communications. This was touted as being the best path forward to expanding the infrastructure and bringing all customers access to cellular service in the subway - an important step towards improving Toronto Transit Commission Safety.

However, a number of questions remain unanswered. I am asking for answer to the following questions: 1. When will the sale of BAI Canada to Rogers Communications be finalized? 2. What guarantees has the Toronto Transit Commission and/or the City received that network access will be available to customers on all cell service providers, not just Rogers Communications, and what mechanisms does the City have to ensure this happens? 3. What timelines have been provided for the full expansion of cell service across the subway system?
