The Competition Tribunal has dismissed an application from Canada\u0027s competition watchdog seeking to block Rogers\u0027 proposed purchase of Shaw.

Concerns that Bell and Telus – the closest competitors to Rogers in Canada’s telecom market — would be unable to compete with the combined company were also dismissed..

Throughout the hearing, the Competition Bureau argued the merger would lessen competition in the telecom market, trigger higher prices and lead to poor service.Earlier this year, Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said he would not allow Rogers to acquire all of Shaw’s wireless licences, suggesting the final approval for the merger required concessions including the sale of Freedom.

The deal’s current closing date of Dec. 31 is just days away, though the parties have the option to extend through the end of January if needed.
