The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that BCE and Telus have been "aggressively" building out their fibre Internet networks across Canada. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says, however, that the global rollout of 5G technology has not been as disruptive or revolutionary as expected, said Erik Bohlin, chair in telecom economics, policy and regulation at the Ivey School of Business. Prof. Bohlin said there were expectations a decade ago that 5G could be more profitable for telecom carriers. Those hopes were pinned to expected growth associated with Internet of Things applications, as well as network slicing -- a technology that creates multiple virtual networks for wireless traffic to reserve capacity for individual users. Cell towers and media and sports assets are among the potential targets for continued divestments. Despite a long-standing reluctance to give up towers, "the timing is as good as it can be" for such transactions, said Scotiabank analyst Maher Yaghi. With infrastructure investors keen to buy tower assets, he said Telus and BCE -- which already share towers across Canada -- stand to make between $3-billion and $4-billion in sales, while Rogers could get as much as $6-billion.
