Kids Help Phone and long-time partner Bell were honoured last night as recipients of the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association's "Connected to the Community" award, which recognizes outstanding organizations that have partnered with Canada's wireless industry to improve the lives of Canadians. Since 1989, Kids Help Phone has worked to advance the well-being of Canadian children and youth by providing them anonymous and confidential professional counselling, referrals and information. In 2009, Kids Help Phone supported kids more than 2.4 million times, across all counselling platforms available to them, including phone calls answered, online posts and online visits. "Kids Help Phone is thrilled to be honoured by the CWTA for our work to maximize access to our services by young people," said Lesley Sims, Ontario Regional Director for Kids Help Phone. "Working closely with Bell to ensure we offer the latest mobile and online capabilities has helped improve the lives of many young and vulnerable kids in Canada." Said Wade Oosterman, President of Bell Mobility: "As a founding partner of Kids Help Phone, Bell supports the national organization's continued evolution in the ways it responds to today's technology-savvy and wireless-oriented youth - including making all Bell Mobility calls to Kids Help Phone free and anonymous."

Bell, a Premier National Partner and the Exclusive Telecommunications Partner to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, is proud to have delivered the most-watched Winter Games in history to Canada and the world. From February 12 to 28, every image seen on TV, every story read around the world and every real-time score transmitted during the Games traversed a communications solution designed and delivered by Bell. "The Bell team rose to the extraordinary challenge of connecting the 2010 Winter Games and bringing these 17 glorious Canadian days to the billions of people watching around the world too," said George Cope, President and CEO of Bell Canada. "The leadership role Bell played in delivering Canada's Games drove communications innovation in this country to new heights. By exceeding the immensely high communications standards of an Olympic event, we've provided an incredible legacy of increased broadband connectivity for British Columbia." As the first telecommunications partner to deliver both wireless and wireline connectivity to an Olympic Games, Bell successfully executed all critical network and communications services at Vancouver 2010, including enhanced high-speed wireless data and fibre broadband networking, complete broadcast support, extensive Internet portal services and full network security. The 2010 Winter Games network supported the communications needs of an estimated 250,000 visitors, almost 6,500 athletes and officials, 50,000 staff and volunteers, and more than 10,000 members of the Canadian and international media. Bell's Olympic network delivered over 24,000 hours of broadcast coverage to more than three and a half billion viewers around the world according to the International Olympic Committee - the most in Olympic history, and a 50 per cent increase over the 2006 Winter Games in Torino and a 25 per cent increase over the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing. "Bell has been a superb telecommunications partner, formulating a detailed and innovative plan, continually meeting its commitments and successfully helping VANOC deliver the 2010 Winter Games to the world," said John Furlong, Chief Executive Officer of the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. "Bell truly lived up to our expectations and to its reputation as Canada's communications leader." Said Justin Webb, Vice President of Olympic Services for Bell: "Not only did Bell have the telecommunications network Games-ready faster than in any host country before us, we were the first to build an entire Olympic Games network from scratch using state-of-the-art Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) technology, based around a 10 gigabyte backbone and almost 300 kilometres of fibre optic cable connecting Vancouver and Whistler and 130 Olympic venues and support sites across the region." Bell customers also had access to the company's new high-speed HSPA/HSPA+ wireless network, Canada's fastest and largest network, completed on time for the Games and - for the first time in Olympic history - offering mobile users across Canada a virtual front row seat to the 2010 Winter Games with live mobile Olympic coverage from seven television networks.

Canadian mobile phone users are one step closer to video calling friends, family, and clients across competing mobile networks as Bell, Rogers and TELUS today announced the successful completion of two-way mobile video calling trials between carriers.
