Canada - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband - Statistics and Analyses

Merger plan of two of Canada’s telcos remains uncertain

Canada’s telecom market is dominated by the facilities-based service providers including Bell, Quebecor, Rogers, Shaw, and Telus. These companies, including their affiliates, account for about 87% of total sector revenue. While the market shares of the top five companies change slightly from year-on-year, merger and acquisition activity results in more significant market share changes.

Over the years there have been some failed deals, including one in late 2020 when Rogers and Altice USA made an unsolicited offer to acquire Cogeco. Under the proposed deal Altice would have bought Cogeco and have sold the Canadian assets to Rogers. Cogeco rejected the takeover bid.

A prolonged an ongoing merger involving Rogers and Shaw is now uncertain on competition grounds. In March 2021, Rogers had acquired Shaw’s Class A shares and Class B shares for some CA$26 billion, including about CA$6 billion of debt. The deal was subject to approvals from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), the Competition Bureau, and the CRTC. The CRTC approved the deal in March 2022, which has implications for Shaw’s unit Freedom Mobile in that final approval includes the requirement that the merged operator divest its wireless business. To this end, Rogers opened talks with potential buyers of Shaw’s wireless assets, including mobile spectrum. This would satisfy existing federal policy aimed at ensuring that there was sufficient competition in the mobile market, with at four wireless providers required to be operating in any given area.

Following completion of the deal, Rogers and Shaw planned to merge their telecom and cable operations, becoming a larger company better able to invest in networks upgrades and expansion projects. However, the Competition Bureau remains opposed to the merger.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
