Rogers tech head says merger with Shaw won’t affect reliability

adjudicates on matters of civil competition and is hearing arguments on the proposed deal.

However, lawyers for the competition watchdog argue that Freedom will be a weakened competitor in Quebecor’s hands, partly because the carrier will be severed from Shaw, which owns fibre-optic infrastructure in Western Canada, while Quebecor does not. Mr. McKenzie disputed that view on Thursday, arguing that all operators, including Telus, lease portions of their networks. He noted that Telus leases over 2,250 circuits from Rogers that provide what is known as the “last mile” of connectivity – the portion that connects the customer to the broader network.Antoine Lippé, a lawyer for the Competition Bureau, asked Mr. McKenzie whether he agrees that a telecom has “less control” over a network it leases versus one that it owns.

reliability or just trying to own the competition?

Wont affect their reliability... but mos def affect their monopoly-ness. CRTC is pathetic AF.

Great things to come soon this company will own everything Muha ha ha ha it’s like communism, but the countries not in charge the companies are!

It’ll still be very unreliable.

Not sire reliability could get any worse so probably true.

What reliability rogers?
