Michael Osborne recently joined BNN Bloomberg to discuss the announcement by Rogers and Shaw that their mediation with the Competition Bureau was unsuccessful, and the likely road ahead for their proposed $20 billion deal.
Michael believes the focus now is whether the bureau believes it’s essential for Shaw Mobile to be sold as well, and whether Quebecor would be willing to buy it in addition to Freedom Mobile. Michael says the odds are still that some kind of agreement will result between Rogers-Shaw and the bureau.
