Canada's telecom companies have been given two months to come up with a plan on emergency roaming after that network outage with Rogers Communications stalled service for millions of customers last Friday.
Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Monday that telecoms have been given 60 days to come up with formal agreements on emergency roaming, mutual assistance in outages, and a protocol for communicating with the public and authorities during widespread disruptions.
Champagne said he spoke with representatives from seven telecom companies – Rogers, Telus, Bell, Videotron, Shaw, SaskTel, and Eastlink. “The focus of the call was very much around resiliency of our network across Canada,” he said.
He's also ordered them to work together during future outages.
