By Tyler Orton | March 18, 2019, 10:43am

What happened: Telus is investing $40 billion over three years on rural internet infrastructure

What it means: Residents in remote areas will have greater access to broadband connectivity

Telus Corporation (TSX: T) plans to spend about $40 billion over three years to build up broadband internet access in rural communities.

The Vancouver-based telecom giant announced the commitment Monday (March 18), noting it had previously invested more than $175 billion in infrastructure since 2000.

“The significant investments we are making in our world-leading networks are enabling us to connect Canadians in rural and remote communities to the people, resources and information that make their lives better,” CEO Darren Entwistle said in a statement.

US Border Patrol agents open a locked gate in the border fence near El Paso to "arrest" migrants who have crossed onto the 100 yards of US territory south of the fence. After their arrest, the Border Patrol takes them to a station in the US to process their asylum claims.

Curiously, Trump points to his huge increase in "arrests" of people patiently waiting south of the border fence as a reason to spend additional billions on additional fencing or a wall.
