“We are very proud to announce that the Haute-Mauricie community will finally have access to voice communications everywhere in the region. We’ve been working for years to bring remote communities closer to the level of connectivity found in major centres. But while we have installed the network infrastructure, we needed a consumer service provider to use our towers to extend its service to these communities. We’re delighted that Videotron has answered the call!”
Eric L’Heureux
PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER OF ECOTEL
“We are proud to bring Videotron’s innovative, competitively priced plans to even more Quebecers with this expansion in Haute-Mauricie. Providing reliable connectivity in partnership with Ecotel will support economic vitality in the region and improve quality of life for residents and visiters. It will also facilitate emergency communications. Videotron’s commitment to serving Quebecers is stronger than ever, as this new regional roll-out clearly demonstrates.”
