TELUS Corporation (NYSE:TU) Q3 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

And then when the fixed wireless millimeter wave spectrum becomes available, that will be probably the final piece in the connectivity jigsaw puzzle, if you will, excluding LEO satellite servicing areas where that plays a role. We would leverage fixed wireless access as one of our connectivity network measures to drive the widest possible extensible broadband coverage we can get. And of course, in some of those areas, you are going to be leveraging government subsidy where it’s available, as we have been doing very successfully for the past few years in remote and real communities. So really, it’s a mix of those technologies, Simon. And we would see, it will have a role to play. It will extend fixed network areas where maybe the geography or the cost in a term, particular terrain is prohibitive.

And I will allow you to get that coverage – we will allow an attractive urban infill in certain circumstances, where tactically, you may want to deploy this in advance of a build that’s ongoing. So, we would expect to be utilizing the capability as soon as the spectrum is available.
