The watchdog group Open Media has a warning for Rogers customers - you're being gouged and the company hasn't lived up to the promises it made when the government allowed it to merge with Shaw.
Their arguments are pretty compelling and demonstrate that Bid Red has been allowed to violate almost everything it promised the regulators to get the merger to pass. Is anyone here surprised?
"As part of the merger approval, Rogers signed a legally binding undertaking covering job creation, network investment, pricing, service quality, and public reporting — with penalties of up to $1 billion for non-compliance.
Three years later today, Rogers' own public disclosures reveal that commitments on job creation, 5G expansion, fair pricing, and improved service, are quietly being hollowed out. Yet ISED (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada) has not used its enforcement powers — and won't say whether it intends to."
