The BCE purchase of Astral Media is interesting for its potential implications (or not) on street furniture in the city, since that’s controlled by Astral.
And in retrospect, it makes the sudden “info” pillar roll-out a couple months ago look very interesting. Recall that almost all of them had Bell advertisements on them.
