Down $1.94, or 3.61 per cent, to $51.78. After tense negotiations and public sparring throughout the year, Canada's major telecommunication carriers have reached a deal to offer wireless coverage on Toronto's subway system. A Rogers spokesman said the terms of the deal could not be disclosed due to confidentiality. Bell declined to comment on the deal, while Telus did not respond to a request for comment. The two companies wanted a joint build of the TTC's mobile network using a consortium model similar to that of Montreal's Metro, rather than the licensing fee model Rogers had proposed. The issue came up after Rogers bought the network in April from BAI, which was contracted to build it in 2012 by the TTC but never managed to sign on any of the major carriers.
