Telus has announced that it will bring the Amp’d Mobile service to Canada (www.ampd.ca) starting next year. The agreement will give Telus the ability to deliver a variety of entertainment content (including games, music and sports through some 200 different content partnerships) to its mobile customers. Amp’d will not operate as a mobile virtual network operator in Canada, instead it will provide its service as a Telus add-on.
As part of the deal, Telus will invest $7.5 million USD in Amp’d.
