If you’re one of the 1+ million inhabitants of Canada’s Texas-sized prairie province, Saskatchewan, it looks like you’ll have some options on which wireless carrier to pick when Apple announced the next iPhone in June.
SaskTel has just announced that they are building out their new HSDPA network in the province, and they’ll be offering Apple’s handset to all of their customers.
According to President and CEO Robert Watson, “We’re building the 3G network right now. It will be up and running for July 1st (with) completion by the end of this year. The good news is that (Apple) is coming out with a new version of the iPhone in the June time-frame and they’re going to put us on that.”
That’s good news for Saskatchewanians: Rogers’ existing HSDPA coverage of the province is pretty woeful. Being totally dedicated to the region, hopefully SaskTel will do better with their network of 3G coverage, especially if they get the iPhone.
