History
Rogers began with an Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) network, and later moved to the IS-136 standard before finally introducing a GSM network in 2001. At various times the service was sold under the names Cantel, Cantel AT&T, Rogers Cantel AT&T, and Rogers AT&T Wireless. Their network is GSM standard with development currently focused on UMTS, High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), and EUL service. Both the AMPS and IS-136 networks have been decommissioned; they were shut down on May 31, 2007.
Before the Rogers acquisition, the wireless business was known as Cantel Communications and Cantel AT&T.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“Indeed, the Englishman’s history of New England commences only when it ceases to be New France.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
