July 1, 2002 - Internet/Cellular Service Cut in Toronto

Internet and cellular access will be turned off at Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Canada beginning July 3. A dispute between several telecommunications firms and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority will disrupt mobile phone service at Pearson International Airport as of July 3.

The Authority declared negotiations deadlocked as of June 18 and will cut power to communications equipment owned by Bell Mobility, Rogers Wireless, Telus Mobility and Microcell Telecommunications. The power cut will also affect pagers, fax machines and Internet access for travelers.

If you plan to transit Pearson International Airport on or after July 3, check with your service provider to be sure your mobile phone and other communications devices will be operational at the airport.
