Telus Beats Bell for $87M Deal With City of Montreal

|
Telus has won an $87-million contract with the City of Montreal, out-bidding the incumbent Bell Canada. It's another big coup for Telus within Bell's territory.

Other big wins have included:

- $213M contract with the Department of National Defense
- $90M deal with Yellow Pages
- $140M contract with Government of Ontario

Telus' success in Eastern Canada is impressive growing from about 300 people in Ontario and Quebec in the year 2000, to 10,000 today.

The company was quick to embrace IP-based communications technology which I'm certain has contributed to their success in the east. I expect continued aggressive growth for the company at the expense of Bell Canada which will continue to be encumbered by the pending takeover by Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.
