A lawyer for Shaw Communications Inc. says the Competition Bureau's case against the company's proposed merger with Rogers Communications Inc. is built on false assumptions and not based in reality.
Thomson said Miller considerably inflated the market share of Shaw's mobile division in his report, which helped form the basis of his opposition. "They never came close to recovering their investment, and had no realistic prospect of doing so," he said, noting that evidence cited by the bureau about Rogers' own struggles early on with mobile aren't a fair comparison because the market has matured considerably since 1987.He said Shaw's owners and executives had no choice but to sell of its businesses, with the mobile side eventually proposed to Quebecor Inc.
