RE: Change in SubjectMerrill Lynch had a nice article with stocks they recommend for 2005. In the Telecom sector they have Telus and Rogers as a recommended buy due to both company's peformance in the wireless sector. Competiton from Shaw will pose a threat to Telus in that unlike other VOIP carriers who are positioning their services as an additional service to the main telephone line, Shaw will be positioning themselves to replace the main telephone line. In some parts of BC Shaw's performance has not exactly been stellar and no one knows to how reliable Shaw's VOIP will be as it is subject to not only bandwidth issues as well as virusus and other nasty beasts. Also with Shaw, it is unknown at this time whether or not you get to choose your Long Distance Carrier, if Shaw decides to charge for LD at all providing a package price. Too many unknowns, with a huge risk to Shaw if they have any kind of problems when the product is rolled out to the massess.
