The merger of Canada’s two largest cable companies is facing obstacles from the Competition Bureau, which argues it would cause higher prices and poorer service

Rogers Communications Inc. and Shaw Communications Inc. have extended the deadline for their contested $26-billion merger until the end of the year as they await regulatory approvals.

The Competition Bureau is attempting to block the merger of Canada’s two largest cable companies, arguing that it would result in higher prices and poorer service, particularly for wireless customers. Rogers has struck a deal to sell Shaw’s Freedom Mobile to Quebecor Inc. for $2.85-billion in an attempt to address those concerns.

alexposadzki This wrong Rogers already has too much power. We need more competition in Canada not less.

alexposadzki Hope it fails.

alexposadzki Yeah, let’s lessen competition in the media and telecommunication industry it’s worked so well south of the border. Break up both of these monopolies and any others doing business in Canada.

alexposadzki Just when you thought you could get away from Rogers… we cancelled all our services with them due to ridiculous prices and horrid customer service. Been happy with Freedom for 8 years. Is there anyone that isn’t a sell out!?!?
