The federal industry minister has ordered Rogers Communications Inc. to provide access by other mobile carriers to its wireless network in Toronto’s subway system within 22 days.

The Oct. 3 deadline is a key part of new spectrum license conditions aimed at bringing cellphone and data services to the entire subway network by the end of 2026, Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne announced at a press conference in Toronto on Sept. 11.
