(Andrew Francis Wallace/Toronto Star) Rogers Communications shouldn’t be allowed to buy Shaw Communications’ Freedom Mobile as part of a proposed $26-billion merger, telecom experts told MPs on Tuesday. The House of Commons Industry committee heard that a takeover of Freedom Mobile by Rogers would eliminate Canada’s fourth-largest competitor, leading to high prices for consumers and less competition. Freedom Mobile has about a five per cent share of the national wireless market, mostly in cities in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia. Its competitive pricing has been credited with helping to drive down prices across the market.
