Manitoba Telecom is also converting its phone and Internet network from copper wire to a fibre-optic system. It should complete this project in 2015. This upgrade will let Manitoba Tel sell more high-speed Internet and digital TV services.
At the same time, the Allstream division is benefiting from its shift to Internet-based communication services. Right now, the division is focusing on clients in multi-tenant buildings that are located near existing fibre-optic networks. Valdor might sign a contract that could bring great revenue to the company.
