Telecommunications giant Telus announced this morning that it is investing $1 billion in facilities and infrastructure in 2013 as part of a three-year, $3 billion boost to its systems provincewide.
"Our sustained investment in technology and infrastructure since 2000 has already made British Columbia one of the most connected places anywhere in the world," said Telus president and CEO Darren Entwistle.
"This year Telus continues that legacy, once again connecting even more British Columbians to our advanced communications infrastructure and all of the benefits it creates."
The infrastructure investment will include:
- connecting hundreds of homes and businesses directly to fibre-optic cable;
- opening a cloud-computing data centre in Kamloops; and
- installing dozens of new wireless sites in urban areas.
