TTC cell service, rents soaring past monthly homeownership costs and benefits for “precarious” workers.
Here’s a fun fact: the TTC is wired to allow commuters to use their cell servicedata. A company was hired 10 years ago to make sure of it. So why is connectivity on the subway virtually impossible? Canada’s big three telecom providers have so far refused to sign on to the network that built the infrastructure.“The infrastructure is in place for any and all of Canada’s mobility service providers to operate on the TTC’s infrastructure and we welcome them,” TTC spokesperson Stuart Green said.
Rogers and Telus did not respond to repeated questions. A Bell spokesperson said in an email the telecom would prefer to build its own infrastructure in the TTC.Homeownership is out of reach for many — but renting is no affordable alternative. A Star analysis of new census data finds that tenants in several Toronto-area neighbourhoods are spending, on average, more on their monthly housing bills than homeowners are.
