Shaw Communications

Bell and Telus are both confident in their ability to compete following Rogers' successful takeover of Shaw Communications last month

Rogers' recently-approved $26 billion acquisition of Shaw will be a "massacre" for jobs, per Globalive CEO and Freedom Mobile founder Anthony Lacavera

Rogers has agreed to provide Vidéotron with favourable access to its networks for an extended period of time as part of the $2.85 billion Freedom Mobile sale

Bell will likely be the largest individual beneficiary of Bill C-18's implementation, with an estimated payout of $23-51 million or 15.6% of the total funds

The parties are finalizing wireless affordability commitments to gain Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne's approval

As part of the Freedom Mobile sale, Rogers has agreed to lease network access to Vidéotron at rates that are lower than those set by the CRTC

Quebecor is banking on its pending acquisition of Shaw Communications-owned Freedom Mobile to catalyze its plans for national expansion

Lawyers working on the long-embattled deal are expected to beat out bankers and shareholder advisers to take the lion's share of fees from the transaction

This is the parties' second extension in as many months as they still await approval from Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne

Globalive argued that the preferential, off-tariff network access rates offered to Vidéotron by Rogers could hinder its return to Canada's wireless market

Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh on Sunday sent a letter to Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne, asking the latter to block the deal

According to sources, Rogers and Quebecor's Vidéotron are in talks to settle a number of commercial issues to meet conditions set by Ottawa
