Description
SaskTel has been on a good track recently – kicking their “4G” network open, announcing future plans to deploy LTE, launching the latest smartphones. Everything seems to be going so smooth, until recently. Over the past month there’s been some connectivity issues, customers were mainly complaining of “calls not going through or calls being dropped”. On a couple occasions SaskTel issued press releases stating they are performing “4G network improvements” to meet the demand. The Crown corp Saskatchewan-based carrier even went as far as installing 11 portable cell towers, also known as COWS (Cellular On Wheels), to improve service in certain areas.
Today brings some unfortunate news. Apparently the company has terminated the employment of their CTO and nine managers. They will all receive severance packages, but SaskTel management ensures that the sudden lay offs had nothing to the recent 4G network issues.
