Shaw Communications Inc. SJRWF

Shaw Communications is a Canadian cable company that is one of the biggest providers of internet, television, and landline telephone services in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and northern Ontario. In fiscal 2021, more than 75% of Shaw's total revenue resulted from this wireline business. Shaw is also now a national wireless service provider after acquiring Wind Mobile in 2016. Shaw has upgraded its wireless network, undertaken an aggressive pricing strategy, and significantly enhanced its spectrum holdings. As a smaller carrier, Shaw has favored bidding status in spectrum auctions, giving it a further boost in enhancing its wireless network. At the 2019 auction, Shaw added significant amounts of 600 MHz spectrum to the 700 MHz spectrum it is currently deploying.

Even without forming one wireless business, they could still benefit from synergies by signing deals between the two, similar to the way Bell & Telus share cell towers.  The regulators would be fine with that, presumably.

If Shaw were forced to divest WIND, what would that mean for us?  Best case they add on a second agreement that changes nothing in this one, worst case they modify it to include some complex share trade that leaves us all guessing what they're worth?

Is there a worse realistic outcome than that?

And it's still possible (likely, even) that the regulators will just OK it providing they agree to appease Canadians with low prices for some number of years more than they already promised.

Although I see the logic in selling now... I'm optimistic enough to hang on a while yet, at least.


From what I've read, it's Rogers problem to sell the assets that they couldn't keep (due to regulation), not the other way around, so it shouldn't affect the buyout price.
