Dryden Council Sells DMTS Mobility

Dryden Council has agreed in principle to sell Dryden Mobility to Tbaytel. The transaction is still subject to Council approval. Tbaytel President Don Campbell says the sale will provide Dryden customers with access to coverage, handsets, price plans and features that they previously didn't have access to. Campbell says the goal is for a seamless transition. A public meeting will be held next Thursday to discuss the deal. Additional details will be released at that time. Meanwhile, the city of Dryden has agreed in principle to the sale of DMTS landline and internet services to Bell Aliant for 4.5-million dollars. The sale still needs to be approved by City Council and no meeting date has been set. Bell officials say this is a small one-time opportunity that makes competitive and financial sense. The company adds they will bring modern, reliable and affordable telecom services to Dryden.
