Rogers to buy Shaw in $26 billion deal

In a release, Rogers says the transaction, which will see the Shaw family become one of the largest shareholders in Rogers, will create new jobs and speed up the company's 5G rollout across the country.

The company also says they will continue offering affordable wireless plans, with no overage fees, that meet the budgets and needs of Canadians.

As part of this commitment, Rogers will not increase wireless prices for Freedom Mobile customers for at least three years following the close of the transaction.

And it also notes the combined company’s coast-to-coast fibre network will create new competition for Bell and Telus.
