罗杰斯提议的交易被加拿大反垄断局否决，理由是这将削弱加拿大的竞争。加拿大的无线资费是全球最高的之一。
在周四晚些时候的一项裁决中，竞争法庭驳回了竞争专员反对该交易的请求，称该交易“不太可能实质性地阻止或减少竞争”。
该交易于2021年3月启动，被视为加拿大反垄断局促进竞争能力的一个测试案例。在加拿大，客户和倡导者抱怨从电信到银行等行业的市场集中。
在11月1日的案件管理会议上，该局曾表示，由于邵氏的有线和无线资产重叠，它反对整个交易。
“我对法庭驳回我们阻止罗杰斯和邵氏合并的申请感到非常失望。我们正在仔细考虑下一步的行动，”竞争事务专员马修·博斯韦尔(Matthew Boswell)在一份声明中表示。
罗杰斯和肖没有立即回应路透社的置评请求。

<\/figure>Canada's competition tribunal<\/a> on Thursday approved the C$20 billion ($14.77 billion) merger between Rogers Communications<\/a> Inc and Shaw Communications<\/a> Inc that would create the country's second-largest telecom provider after Bell<\/a>.Rogers' proposed deal had been blocked by Canada's antitrust bureau on grounds that it would lessen competition in a country where wireless charges are among the highest in the world.
In a ruling late on Thursday, the Competition Tribunal dismissed the Commissioner of Competition's request to oppose the deal, saying that the deal is \"not likely to prevent or lessen competition substantially.\"
<\/div><\/div>The panel also ruled that the proposed deal is not likely to lead to \"materially higher\" prices or a decline in service, quality or innovation.
The deal, launched in March 2021, has been seen as a test case for the Canadian antitrust bureau's ability to foster competition in a country where customers and advocates have complained about market concentration from industries ranging from telecoms to banks.
During a Nov. 1 case management conference, the bureau had said that it was opposing the deal in its entirety due to the overlapping of Shaw's wireline and wireless assets.
\"I am very disappointed that the Tribunal is dismissing our application to block the merger between Rogers and Shaw. We are carefully considering our next steps,\" Matthew Boswell, Commissioner of Competition, said in a statement.
Rogers and Shaw did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
