outw west Bell pioggy backs Telus's network and out east Telus piggy backs Bell's network they alway have from the start of this moving into each others teritory. They both figured if you can't stop them then charge them a rate they can't refuse. Bellwest has put up a few cell sites of their own and so has telus out east but for the most part they piggy back. Telus bought qubec Tel a couple years ago is as stated in to posts in talks now or will be. I do know managers and ex manager of Telus they are not to say to much about things prtaining to talks with Bell. Things have slowed down a bit with the talks recintly they will go through in the end but Bell Now wants more money since Telus shares took a hit 1.5 weeks ago or so. Telus does not want what happened with AT&T too happen again. Too much gets out and the deal will be off and then someone else will scoop bell up. There are a few player out there that can make a play at Bell now they are lossing ground to the likes of Telus and Rogers ect....
