The seemingly endless demand for wireless services got credit for the bulk of BCE Inc.'s (TSE:BCE) growth this quarter, a period in which the telecom giant moved to appeal to people who want new ways to consume its traditional television service.
BCE Inc. (TSE:BCE), Canada's largest telecommunications company, reported a higher-than-expected quarterly profit as it added customers and earned more per subscriber in its wireless business.
BCE Inc. is planning on expanding westward through a friendly agreement to acquire Manitoba Telecom Services Inc. for $3.9 billion.
The agreement will add Manitoba’s largest phone, Internet and wireless company to a Montreal-based telecommunication business that stretches across Canada. If the deal closes, BCE plans to make Winnipeg its new Western Canadian headquarters.
