PROFILE |
 |
Canada's #2 telecom company (after BCE), TELUS is the incumbent local-exchange carrier in British Columbia and Alberta. The company provides long-distance and local phone service about 5 million access lines and Internet access to more than 500,000 subscribers. With the telecom's acquisition of Clearnet, TELUS Mobility serves more than 2.2 million mobile phone customers nationwide. TELUS is expanding as a facilities-based competitor to incumbent carriers in Central and Eastern Canada and will also augment its ISP business with the purchase of PSINet's Canadian operations. Formerly known as BCT.TELUS, TELUS was formed by the 1999 merger of BC TELECOM and TELUS. US-based Verizon owns about 22% of the company.
