The Crown company says the service will be expanded to 50
new communities, which will be named at a later date.
Another 200 communities will see the speed of their
broadband service increased, while SaskTel
also plans to build 31 new towers in rural areas.
The expansion and upgrades are expected to cost SaskTel $57 million over the next
seven years.
The SARM convention wraps up Thursday.
