Weakness

Opportunity
1. 3.5 GigaHertz spectrum Auction: The auction of 3.5 GigaHertz Spectrum is an opportunity for Telus to increase their competitive advantage. Working closely with Government will enable it for the development of 5G infrastructure and acquisition of spectrum necessary for 5G rollout. Also, Telus is working closely with the Communication Security Establishment & Canadian government for enhancement and upholding a secure and innovative approach for management of safety equipment for all clients. Telus’s security framework consists of a series of protocols that prelude Chinese equipment from sensitive parts of the network known as core and limits the equipment with a less sensitive radio and antenna components.
2. Lower Operation Expense and advantage of Economies of Scale: Expansion of PureFibre Footprint and the corresponding customer base enhances efficiency in terms of economies of scale advantages and lower operation Expenditure. High revenue characteristics of PureFibre clients and lower churn results in elevated customer economics overall. Thus, Telus’ steps to increase and expand the PureFibre footprint to 75% with the same or even better operational excellence, customer service may prove very beneficial in terms of Economies of scale.
3. Government subsidies in rural areas: Telus' current focus is on B2B business where they are currently working and delivering phenomenal results that are being delivered to wireline. It is evident from the fact that there were 127,000 loads for 2018, which is 80000 loads year-over-year. But there are other areas to look upon. There may be rural areas where government subsidy programs are in the place where Telus can leverage and make the fiber more economical for the public there. The resource industries in those areas may make the economics for Telus attractive and there is definitely an opportunity for Telus to decommission copper in those areas for PureFibre.Accelerated capital cost allowances by the government would allow Telus to do a little bit pre-emptive exciting and meaningful leveraging 600 megahertz propagation characteristics in non-urban areas to bring 5G initially to rural.
