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.

RE:Commons Committee Insists Wireles be Sold

It's no surprise that they're going to be required to divest Freedom Mobile. We could even see the news as positive, signalling that the merger isn't going to be completely blocked.

The chance to build a second Canada-wide 5G backbone is still there, even if they do have to structure it so that the actual phone companies are customers (right?)

I'm a bit more concerned by the news linked in your article, that Rogers has only got half the financing they wanted. If they're going to sell FM anyway, though, that problem should go away.

At this point, if I spotted something else that I figured would go up 6% in coming months, I'd probably sell my SJR.B and buy that instead... but I'm not too worried about it.
