Canada's Competition Bureau raises concerns about increased wireless plan costs following the Rogers-Shaw merger.
Canada's Competition Bureau raises concerns about discontinued cellphone promotions in Western Canada following the Rogers-Shaw merger, stating that some bundled wireless plans are not as cheap as they were prior to the merger. The Competition Bureau's senior deputy commissioner of mergers and monopolistic practices, Jeanne Pratt, said that before Shaw was purchased by Rogers Communications last April, Shaw was a "particularly growing and disruptive competitive force" in British Columbia and Alberta, offering very aggressive pricing for bundled wireless plans. Pratt's testimony at the House of Commons' industry committee raises concerns about the affordability and accessibility of wireless and broadband services in Canada.
