Videotron must offer plans that are at least 20 per cent lower than its competitors and spend $150 million over the next two years to upgrade Freedom Mobile’s network. “We are very pleased to be closing the acquisition of Freedom Mobile today, bringing its Canadian footprint as well as the expertise and experience of its employees into our fold,” said Quebecor president and CEO Pierre Karl Peladeau in a press release.

Champagne also announced his department would not allow any further transfers of wireless spectrum until it completes a review of Canada’s spectrum transfer framework.

Instead of more competition we have less! Stupid laws they passed are useless. Take a look at prices in Europe 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤡

It's all a mafia conglomerate. Clients will be paying the proverbial piper, as always 😅

Rogers finalizes $26-billion merger with Shaw after receiving government approvalRogers CEO Tony Staffieri calls it a momentous day for the company’s customers and says they will benefit from the latest services and network technology. More oligarchs for Canada. A big loss to consumers. What else is new here? I guess we all just forgot about how Canada collapsed when the Roger's monopoly on our IT backbone went down, huh? Canada loves it's monopolies. I don't know why everyone says we're capitalist. No business that isn't already established will thrive here.

Rogers finalizes $26-billion merger with Shaw after receiving government approvalRogers Communications Inc. has closed its $26-billion purchase of Shaw Communications Inc. after receiving final approval from Ottawa last week, bringing to an end two years of uncertainty as regulators scrutinized the deal. Justin and Jag supporters getting what they voted for. So much for competitiveness in the Canadian cell phone industry and lower prices… Hopefully the next generation will finally SCRAP the relic that IS the CRTC! Red Tape Cut. How is this going to open up competition and help all Canadian’s get better📱rates etc? Canada should follow what Australia and Ireland are doing, no? At the very least, the sharing of cell towers should be included in this deal, so any new companies can compete. cdnpoli
