Bell Mobility, Rogers Wireless and TELUS Mobility plan to provide more than 15 million subscribers with nationwide WiFi roaming by launching a national WiFi hotspot network. The network includes the development of 500 new hotspot sites and will operate under a common brand. Syniverse will secure network transport and access between the carriers on their WiFi network. The companies said the contract is multi-year, but did not disclose other details of the deal.
