to the takeover on Friday by agreeing to the transfer of Shaw-owned Freedom Mobile's wireless licences to Quebecor Inc.'s Videotron, the final regulatory step allowing the main deal to go ahead.
It must also spend $5.5 billion to expand 5G coverage and additional network services, as well as a further $1 billion to connect rural, remote and Indigenous communities.

The evil continues.
A distaster for the Canadian consumer…prices will increase and the service will find new lows…very disappointed the Feds allowed this…
Total bull shit this shouldn’t have gone forward. Canadians across the country say this is a bad idea ..
Canadians will pay more for internet services.. NoCompetionCanada
How is this going to open up competition and help all Canadian’s get better📱rates etc? Canada should follow what Australia and Ireland are doing, no? At the very least, the sharing of cell towers should be included in this deal, so any new companies can compete. cdnpoli
Justin and Jag supporters getting what they voted for. So much for competitiveness in the Canadian cell phone industry and lower prices… Hopefully the next generation will finally SCRAP the relic that IS the CRTC!
Red Tape Cut.
