RE:CRTC decision
RE:CRTC decisionFrom what I read, only those regional players that already have some established wireless infrastructure and/or own spectrum will be able to buy access outside the regions they operate in from the big companies with national networks. This means only a handful of regional firms like Videotron and Shaw qualify for MVNO status under the changes. Ironically, under the new scheme Shaw could have piggybacked onto the big three's networks and developed into a nationwide player without costly hw/spectrum capex up front, all on its own. I'll bet Videotron will attempt to go national in due order. They should have waited for this decision to come out before deciding on any acquisition by Rogers. That said, RCI now has an easier road ahead to closing the deal.
