The Story of Canada’s Telecom Monopoly

For this episode, two guests join us to talk about the telecommunication monopoly in Canada, Professor Fenwick McKelvey from Concordia University and Mr. Joe Rowsell from Telus. With the ongoing merger between Shaw and Rogers, and the recent service outage experienced by Rogers’ users, we have seen rising concerns within Canada’s monopolistic Telecommunication industry.  We dive into the current landscape of the industry and explore the existing problems within the telecommunication systems. Additionally, we will discuss the government’s role in regulating the industry.
