Finally, the man behind one of Canada’s largest brands is getting the posthumous recognition that he deserves.

William Edward (Ted) Rogers was officially inducted into the Wireless Hall of Fame back on October 5th in San Francisco, CA, with his daughter Melinda accepting the award on his behalf.

After the award was presented Melinda was quoted saying:

“Until his death two years ago, dad was often dubbed a ‘media mogul’ and a ‘cable czar’. But arguably his greatest success came in wireless telecommunications. He was a driving force, a visionary, a pioneer and a titan across the wide spectrum of communications. Honouring his legacy by the Wireless History Foundation is truly appreciated by the Rogers family and I know dad would be delighted, too.”

A warm congratulations goes out to the whole Rogers’ family from all of us here at TheCellularGuru.com.
