Régions branchées initiative aligns with Bell's focus on
bringing advanced fibre networks to communities large and small
MONTRÉAL, Oct. 18, 2019 /CNW
Telbec/ - Bell today applauded the Québec government's new Régions
branchées program to provide residents, businesses and other
organizations in smaller communities with access to broadband fibre
communications services.
"Bell shares the government's objective to enhance Québec's
economic growth and prosperity through the ongoing expansion of
high-speed fibre connections, and we look forward to new
opportunities to serve even more communities with the Régions
branchées program," said Martine
Turcotte, Vice Chair, Québec.
"As the largest investor in communications infrastructure in
Québec and across Canada, Bell welcomes partnerships with
governments to expand broadband services to areas that cannot be
supported by private investment alone," said Nicholas Payant, Vice President, Connectivity
and Reliability. This includes Bell's earlier participation in the
government's Québec branché program.
