The TTC is bringing back plans to get subway commuters connected to the outside world.

The Globe and Mail is reporting that the commission will give the green light for plans to add cellphone transmitters to 68 stations.

The TTC has a meeting next Wednesday where it will begin to solicit bids from three companies vying to provide reception.

The report says the winning bid could be selected by the end of the year and some stations could come online in mid-2012.
