Telus says its new partnership with
Ville de Montréal, in which it will provide and manage Internet Protocol (IP) based voice and data services for the city's more than 300 administrative offices, is valued at $87 million over ten years.

"Ville de Montréal has placed their trust in Telus to upgrade their communications services to our state-of-the-art IP technology,"
Karen Radford, president of Telus Québec said in a release. "We are honored to have been selected as the Ville de Montréal's primary telecommunications partner. Telus' 4,500 team members in Quebec are eager to bring the benefits of our solutions to the city's extensive operations."

In July, 2007, Ville de Montréal requested proposals from telecommunications providers for modernizing the city's communications
infrastructure. Objectives for the project included simplifying communications
management processes, containing costs, and enabling future applications.

Telus will provide managed telecommunications services including voice,data, and IP solutions to the Ville de Montréal. The advanced
telecommunications framework supports the city's goals of accessing a cost-effective infrastructure that meets their current requirements and, at the same time, provides a secure IP backbone for new services and solutions.
