- In May 2004, Call-Net Enterprises, a Canadian integrated communications provider known primarily by its wholly-owned subsidiary Sprint Canada, entered into an agreement with Bell Canada to acquire certain assets of 360networks. This deal includes significant portions of 360networks’ business customer base and specific network facilities in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. Call-Net will enter into a two-year transitional services agreement with Bell to provide technical and operational services to the newly acquired customer base and in exchange be paid approximately 70 per cent of the total retail revenue.
