Canada’s competition bureau has blocked Rogers’ proposed purchase of Shaw on the grounds that it will lessen competition in the telecom sector

The fate of the deal appears to be a step closer to being determined with the parties agreeing to the mediation process.

Reuters reported on Thursday that the bureau was expected to ask Rogers to sell Shaw’s cellular business to overcome antitrust concerns. The bureau has previously said that the sale of Freedom Mobile, which Rogers has agreed to sell to Montreal-based Quebecor Inc for $2.85-billion, was insufficient to bolster competition in the Canadian market
