Telus Soft Launching HSPA+ In Manitoba

This month, it seems that Telus may be preparing for a soft launch of their HSPA wireless network in Manitoba.

HSPA would bring devices such as the iPhone to Manitobans. The soft launch is reportedly scheduled for February 16, 2011 with a primary marketing campaign beginning in March 2011.

As seen below, the Telus coverage map has started to show the core HSPA coverage for Manitoba (currently in Winnipeg only).

the hotspot will be around tethering so Rogers will not charge a fee to use ONE feature on your iPhone like AT&T and Verizon will do.
