Can Pierre Blouin Save Manitoba Tel?
December 7th, 2005 Posted in ILEC News, Analysis, Main Page
Manitoba Telecom Services has hired Bell Canada veteran Pierre Blouin to replace Bill Fraser as CEO. If you're looking for a big challenge, MTS is a good candidate given its Allstream division, which sells telecom services to corporate customers, is struggling, while MTS' home market - Manitoba - is starting to see stiff competition from rivals such as Shaw Communications Inc. in the high-margin local phone business. Good luck, Pierre.

Pierre will dress up MTS for sale to TELUS in order to screw his “friends” at Bell who threw him out. Look for MacDonald and Baker to leave shortly now too as the Board has passed them over.
