(Reuters) - Rogers Communications Inc on Monday said it had closed the takeover of smaller rival Shaw Communications Inc, days after Canada gave its final approval for the C$20 billion ($14.87 billion) deal.
Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Francois-Philippe Champagne agreed to the transfer of wireless licenses held by Shaw's Freedom Mobile unit to Quebecor Inc under some conditions, paving the way to create Canada's no. 2 telecom company.
