This will enable Direct to cellphone coverage for limited bandwidth text and voice applications. Canada is vast, and we have many many touristy areas without coverage. Kananaskis comes to mind, where there are thousands of visitors without coverage. Would hope TELUS would take the lead here! to help provide emergency phone and SMS coverage all over.
