The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s new mobile virtual network operator rates are crucial to Quebecor’s national expansion plans after its $2.85-billion acquisition of Freedom Mobile

Rogers has notified Quebecor that it plans to appeal the decision in court, according to a letter sent Friday to federal Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne and obtained by The Globe and Mail.

Quebecor is asking Mr. Champagne to wade into the spat, arguing that Rogers’s planned appeal goes against the Toronto-based telecom’s commitments to the minister’s department, as well as to other regulatory bodies, including the CRTC and the Competition Bureau.believes the CRTC decision “contains a number of legal errors and was the product of a flawed process.”

Quebecor says it was Rogers who requested the arbitration, and that Quebecor agreed “as a compromise” so that Rogers could secure the minister’s approval for its takeover of Shaw.
