Blogging Bell Canada's annual business review conference; BCE dividend jumps

by DavidAkin on Wed 15 Dec 2004 08:13 AM EST | Permanent Link | Cosmos

I'm at the annual business review conference for Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE). BCE is Canada's largest telecommunications concern -- owner of Bell Canada and Bell Mobility among others -- and is also the company that controls Bell Globemedia, which is the company that owns the two organizations I work for, CTV News and The Globe and Mail.
BCE CEO Michael Sabia is speaking. The headline news so far is that BCE has raised the annual dividend it will pay, boosting it by 10 per cent to $1.32 (CDN) per share.
Sabia is going to focus his talk on the "core elements" of things that "are driving change within Bell."
Internet protocol (IP) and broadband IP services are the big areas Bell is pushing in.
"On IP, this company simply will not be outflanked."
