“If we introduce a less competitive marketplace and higher prices, other telecom companies, like Bell and Telus for example, will also be able to raise prices that would benefit shareholders of those companies,” he said, adding that higher prices that may result from the merger will cause consumer loss proportional to cell spending, with less affluent households experiencing a greater impact.
Matthew Law, a lawyer for Rogers, pushed back against these claims and pointed to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s decision to approve the deal. Law said the regulator had evaluated how the transaction would impact consumers before the approval. “The commission examined how the transaction would affect consumer interests. It considered the possible impact of various consumer segments including low-income households, seniors and people with disabilities,” Law read from the regulator’s statement on its decision to approve the merger.
Additionally, Rogers pointed to the company’s intention to extend its Connected for Success wireline program to Western Canada if the deal is approved. The program offers high-speed internet and bundled services at a discounted price to low-income Canadians.Article content During his presentation, Osberg said the Rogers family trust and the Shaw family living trust stood to gain the most from the deal due to their concentrated holdings. Other Canadian shareholders of the merged entities would also be winners of the merger, he said.
