Rogers' Telephony Plans to be Unveiled Today
After much speculation, Rogers Communications is holding a press conference this afternoon to talk about its telephony plans. While the company may not roll out service on July 1, it is meeting the "deadline" set by CEO Ted Rogers who want the move into local telephony to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Rogers Wireless.
