  5. About Rogers

    Rogers Telecom Inc. is a subsidiary of Rogers Communications. It is a Toronto-based company with focus on integrated communications solutions provider of data, e-business and voice services to business and households. It was formerly known as Sprint Canada Inc., pursuant to a 1993 branding agreement between parent Call-Net Enterprises Inc. with what is now Sprint Nextel Corporation.

    In 1998 Call-Net acquired long distance service and data circuit provider Fonorola of Montreal for approximately $1.2 billion and merged it into Sprint Canada.

    On May 11, 2005, Rogers Communications Inc. and Call-Net jointly announced that they entered into an agreement under which RCI will acquire 100% of Call-Net under a plan of arrangement ([http://micro.newswire.ca/release.cgi?rkey=1305117409&view;=84735-0&Start;=0]). The deal was approved by shareholders and an Ontario court on June 30, 2005, and completed July 1, and allowed Rogers to enter the residential phone business to challenge Bell Canada.

    On July 7, 2005, Sprint Canada Inc. officially became Rogers Telecom Inc. and Call-Net Enterprises Inc. became Rogers Telecom Holdings Inc.

      Michael Geist in Do large downloads need "Not Safe for Canada" badge?
    2. “ We believe it is likely to be offered by AT&T … and Verizon (News - Alert) … in the U.S. and Bell and Rogers in Canada. ”
