Rogers reacts to Quebecor CEO’s speech

Ted Rogers, President and CEO of Rogers Communications Inc. responded to comments made by the Quebecor CEO regarding the Canadian wireless market. Rogers Communications Inc. Welcomes competition and believes that any Canadian company should have the right to participate in Canada’s wireless auction and to compete.

However, Rogers disagree with subsidies and favours being granted to new entrants, many of which are well financed communications companies.

"I disagree strongly with the statements made by Quebecor regarding the wireless market. Canada has some of the lowest rates in the world and we are one of the top countries in the world for wireless usage," said Ted Rogers, President and CEO, Rogers Communications "Statistics and arguments to the contrary are being manipulated by those who want the government to give them favours when they build a wireless network - favours that Rogers never received."

Further, to suggest that Canada does not have the most up to date technologies is simply untrue. "Our newly launched HSDPA network provides our customers with the fastest speed and most services in the world," added Ted Rogers.
