Canada's Rogers has announced the availability of its 3G high-speed wireless network and Rogers Vision services in Moncton and Halifax. The company also announced that following a successful trial announced in late 2007, Moncton and Halifax will commercially offer 7.2 Mbps wireless services.
"This major expansion reinforces Rogers as Canada's fastest and most advanced wireless network from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast," said Rob Bruce, President, Rogers Wireless. "It also confirms Rogers as the first in the Western Hemisphere and one of the leading carriers in the world to take their customers to the next level with the blazingly fast speeds of cutting-edge 3.5 G technology."
Rogers ended last year with an estimated 7.5 million subscribers, of which 105,000 are using a WCDMA service according to figures from the Mobile World analysts. This represents a market share of 37%.
