Rogers-Shaw deal: Tribunal continues to hear closing arguments in merger case
Rogers and Shaw agreed to sell Shaw’s Freedom Mobile to Quebecor Inc.’s Videotron Ltd. to ease those concerns, but the federal watchdog still wasn’t satisfied.On Tuesday, the bureau’s lawyers argued the deal will create an unprecedented relationship of dependence between telecom giant Rogers and Videotron, a small, regional player.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approved the deal in March, while Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said he would only endorse it if Videotron agrees to keep Freedom’s wireless licences for at least 10 years and wireless prices in Ontario and Western Canada were lowered by about 20 per cent.
