What happens to Shaw Mobile as an Entity?
With Videotron About to get behind the Driver's seat, Will Freedom Thrive, or put in the Backseat down Memory Drive?
Is this good for Competition?
Was Globalive a Better alternative for Freedom?
Will Freedom retain the Name, or be Renamed?
Videotron supposedly introducing Fizz Mobile, Should Freedom perhaps be combined with Fizz, perhaps offering different Levels of Flanker Offerings?
Will Rogers or Videotron Blink and if so, can they afford to pay the Price?
These are going to be Interesting Times in the Canadien Telecommunications and Media Landscape

The only good I see coming from this, is fizz mobile getting a national roll out now that Videotron owns freedom mobile, that would be a direct competitor to public mobile, in the all digital provider space, so they would battle it out toe to toe on price and features, that and freedom will roll out 5G service in 2- 4 months after closing as per deal terms.
The CEO mentioned rolling out fizz as a complement to freedom mobile brand in a recent article in February.

The Govs need to consider, Each Finger representing an Solution, add in the Toes, Think of 20 Actual solutions that actually work, and Not the Hot Potato pass along, Each region needs at least 5 or 6 Carriers, Non that are affiliated with the 3 No's, we Need the 3 Yes's in order to see some excellent progress

Unfortunately that is true, as the Cost to Build the Infrastructure is More than the Average Enterprise can sustain, and that the "3" No's needs to be the "3" Yes's in order for a Truly built Canadien Fully functional competition can truly Thrive

Shake up the wireless market in Canada with a foreign operator ... TMobile or Vodafone or ???
This is the only solution.

Most canadian consumers of wireless need "hand holding" ... they WANT subsidized phones payments over time and personal assistance .
That costs the provider $$$ and so charges accordingly.
MVNO seems like the solution but the majority of consumers accept their plight and pay the piper.
Front line store are expensive.
Publicmobile closed the doors on store front.
Fingers crossed for Quebecor to slug it out against the tyranny of 3.

Hi @makkahn28 Mint? Owned by T-Mobile now. so you want ROBELLUS to run another small brand player? lol
04-01-2023 07:38 PM
Problem, not moving fast enough, needs more Power, Maybe Mint Mobile should have come here as well

What is needed then, is Mobile Virtual Network Operators, Like maybe 8 per Prov and Territory

Hi @makkahn28 less carriers to choose, I don't see any good to Canadians
I thought CRTC always want to give is more to choose, not sure how Robellus buying every small player will help
