Michael Osborne recently joined BNN Bloomberg to discuss the Competition Bureau’s bid to block the $20 billion Rogers-Shaw deal.
Michael believes that if Rogers can find a purchaser who the Bureau is satisfied would not lessen or eliminate competition in the wireless space, the regulator would no longer have grounds to challenge the deal. He also notes that the agreement has a “hell or high-water clause,” meaning that Rogers may have to agree to a divestiture that it doesn’t like very much.
