It’s trivial when you have the resources that come from being one of Canada’s 3 telecom oligopoly members.
Unfortunately the CRTC is run by former execs/management of Bell, Telus, and Rogers, and our anti-competition bureau doesn’t seem to understand their purpose when they consistently allow these 3 to buy up and any all small competitors that gain even a regional market share.
Meanwhile their service is mediocre and overpriced, which they’ll chalk up to geographical challenges of operating in Canada while all offering the exact same plans at the exact same prices, buying sports teams, and paying a reliable dividend.
It's worse than that: 2 of the 3 telecom oligopoly members share (most) of their entire wireless network, with one providing most towers in the West, and the other in the East.
I'm sure those 2 compete very hard with each other with that level of co-dependency.
