Rogers Communications Inc. is urging the federal telecommunications regulator to go ahead as scheduled with its hearings into the company's deal to buy Shaw Communications Inc.
BCE Inc. Telus Corp., the Public Interest Advocacy Centre and the National Pensioners Federation have asked the CRTC to delay the hearings set to begin Nov. 22 due to a dispute over control of Rogers between members of the Rogers family.
"Furthermore, in the case of Bell and Telus, they are obviously both concerned that a combined Rogers/Shaw will become a more effective competitor and are looking for any way to try to derail our transaction," Ted Woodhead, Rogers senior vice-president, regulatory, wrote in a letter to the CRTC. The Public Interest Advocacy Centre and the National Pensioners Federation made the initial request to delay the CRTC hearing in a letter Monday.
