Consumer groups and opposition parties support move to block Rogers-Shaw merger

The Rogers-Shaw deal must pass three different regulatory approval processes: from the CRTC, the Competition Bureau and Innovation Canada. The CRTC has already approved the deal, and now the bureau has said it will block it, but the decision by the Innovation Minister is still outstanding.

He said in an interview the Liberals should follow the Competition Bureau’s lead. “They should also be opposing this merger, because we have not seen convincing evidence that it’s going to lead to better prices or better service for Canadians or that it won’t mean job losses in Shaw offices.” “As it relates to requests to transfer licensed spectrum, ISED will continue to review any application on its merits and will render a decision in due course,” Wellstead said. “As Minister Champagne has previously stated, our government is committed to promoting competition and ensuring affordability in the telecommunications sector.”

One of the options is Xplornet, who became Manitoba’s fourth player after the merger of Bell and MTS.

Say ‘NO’ to merger acquisition. Monopoly= dictatorship.
