Talk:Bell MTS

message: This page contains blatant self promotion, for example the opening paragraph uses the words 'Ours' far too much.
: So revert it - as I just did. That was a very bad bid of PR flackery which looked as if it was cut'n'pasted from the 2005 Annual Report.  I have restored an earlier version.  Someone who understands all this corporate branding nonsense should give us a digram of the various sub-companies of MTS.  --Wtshymanski 01:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

message: How could the move downtown in 2001 be part of the Province of Manitoba's 'Downtown First' policy? MTS was not a crown corporation at the time, and was not subject to any provincial government policies as to where offices should be located. --68.179.16.113 20:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

That's when 1,500 MTS empoyees moved in to the former Bank of Montreal bldg. at 333 Main St. Jimj wpg (talk) 12:00, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

message: That "97% cellular coverage" must be by population centres, because I can guarantee, there's no way 97% of the geography of Manitoba has cellular coverage. --Enigmatick 21:17, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Believe me. 0.54% of the population of Manitoba lives north of the 56th parallel (northern 1/3 of the province) and cell service is only available to Churchill and Gillam. Everywhere else - nothing past about 75km outside of Thompson. I live in Lynn Lake. [[204.112.242.163 (talk) 03:17, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  97%? 

message: Is there any reference behind the claim that MTS is the third largest provider in Canada? I'm reseraching the topic right now and as far as I can tell Rogers, BCE and Telus are the three largest by market capitalization. Also, I just read on their website that they have 6,000 employees not 7,000, I'm a little confused about how reliable this article is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.28.165 (talk) 05:47, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

message: This page shows up for allstream, but has nothing to do with them. The subsidiary link for allstream connects to a AT&T Canada article. Allstream shouldn't link to this page unless someone writes section about that subsidiary in this article. It is mentioned in a single sentence.70.48.161.33 (talk) 22:22, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

message: I grew up in the 1970s and 1980s (b. 1966). I remember our first or second plug-in residential phone, ca. 1979 and after we had said "ITT" etched into the moulding of the telephone. So, I guess they sometimes sent out Northern Electric and sometimes ITT sets. Any other companies units they had? Jimj wpg (talk) 00:27, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
