Telecom giant Rogers Communications Inc. initially projected its nascent 5G network would expand beyond Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver to cover an additional 20-plus markets by the end of 2020, but on Tuesday it said it now projects the network will cover more than 60 cities and towns by year-end.
The company initially began rolling out its new 5G network in a few major cities back in January, before a global pandemic sideswiped the economy and led to shuttered offices, pushing employees into remote work situations and children into remote learning scenarios.
