History and Development
TELUS was established in 1990 in Canada following the privatization of Alberta Government Telephones (AGT), with the objective of modernizing telecommunications services in the region.
In its early years, the company invested in network digitalization and expanded beyond Alberta into other parts of Canada.
A major milestone occurred in 1999, when TELUS merged with BC Tel, creating a stronger national telecommunications provider with expanded infrastructure and customer reach.
Throughout the following decades, TELUS expanded its mobile and broadband networks, introduced new digital services, and grew its customer base across consumer and enterprise segments.
Today, the company continues to invest in advanced network technologies, including fiber and 5G, while expanding its digital-services portfolio in areas such as healthcare, cybersecurity, and enterprise solutions.
