Companies extend deadline to close Rogers-Shaw deal to Feb. 17

Rogers, Shaw, the Shaw Family Living Trust and Quebecor Inc. say they have extended the deadline to Feb. 17 from Tuesday.

If approved, the deal will see Rogers acquire Shaw, while Quebecor's Videotron subsidiary will acquire Shaw's Freedom Mobile wireless business. The agreement is still waiting for approval by Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne who must sign off on the transfer of wireless spectrum licenses from Shaw to Videotron.

The companies say they are continuing to work with the government to secure the final approval needed to close the transactions. The deal cleared a key hurdle last week after the Federal Court of Appeal dismissed a Competition Bureau request to overturn approval of the agreement by the Competition Tribunal.Related Stories

This merger is deadly because there is absolutely no competition between telecommunication companies already. Clients go from one company to the other but it is all the same. Robbing the population. Supreme court is not impartial and that is sad to see.

Thanks Trudeau.

🤗 Sadly within time most will comes to be Rogers...🇨🇦
