Last month, Rogers and Shaw agreed a deal with Quebecor to sell Shaw’s Freedom Mobile unit to the Montreal-based company, in a bid to allay competition concerns about their merger.

The Commissioner of Competition has blocked the deal, saying it would hamper competition in a country which has some of the highest telecom rates in the world.
