Ya gott love technology BCE Mobile Communications Inc - Bell Mobility and Charles Schwab Canada to introduce wireless trading BCE Mobile Communications Inc BCX Shares issued 76,773,206 1999-04-14 close $44 Thursday Apr 15 1999 Ms. Andrea Goldstein reports Canada's first full-choice brokerage, Charles Schwab Canada, Co., has partnered with Bell Mobility to offer investors in Ontario another innovative way to access their trading accounts - through Interactive Information Services offered on Bell Mobility Digital PCS handsets. Schwab Canada is currently working with other regional carriers to roll out similar services across Canada. Starting today, Schwab Canada customers with a trading account will be able to receive real-time stock quotes, log on to their Schwab Canada account, and execute trades via a Qualcomm QCP2700 phone from Bell Mobility. Bell Mobility PCS Subscribers who do not have a Schwab account will be able to receive delayed stock quotes for securities they are tracking, as well as news headlines, directly from their PCS handsets through Schwab Canada Market Information. Full deployment of Interactive Information Services will coincide with the launch of Bell Mobility's PCS digital data network. Interactive Information Services will be available to all PCS subscribers with a Qualcomm QCP2700 handset. There is no charge for the services, and subscribers are charged for digital data airtime usage only. When a Schwab Canada customer executes a trade via PCS, regular on-line trading commissions apply. Bell Mobility was the first to provide real-time stock alerts to Canadian investors in the summer of 1998, when they joined forces with Priority Brokerage, Inc. which became Charles Schwab Canada earlier this year. The technology has now evolved from simply receiving information to allowing customers to both receive and send instructions via the data capabilities of the PCS phone. Headquartered in Toronto, Charles Schwab Canada, Co. is Canada's first full-choice brokerage firm, offering both discount and full-service investment services. Charles Schwab Canada is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE:SCH), which is headquartered in San Francisco. Charles Schwab Canada, Co. is a member of the Investment Dealers Association, the Canadian Investor Protection Fund, the Winnipeg Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange.
