Rogers announces high-speed roaming agreement with US carrier AT&T

Rogers has announced an LTE roaming agreement with US carrier AT&T for its mobile phone customers.

The news comes the same day as the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s deadline for telecom companies to submit their roaming fee rates for customers who travel to the US and any network sharing agreements between Canadian and American carriers. The CTRC has said it wants to review rates from the industry to “assess its competitiveness” on the country’s wireless industry and what choices are available to consumers. Rogers says its $7.99 daily roaming rate in the US, which was set independently of the roaming agreement with AT&T, was first announced in May.
