The graphic below is intended to show (on a macro level) how Canada’s consumer wireless market will be shaping up following the Shaw / WIND Mobile deal. As I mentioned yesterday, in different regions of the country, various providers will offer different services. In some areas, so-called national providers can offer the total home bundle: TV, internet, home phone and mobile. In other regions of the country, those same providers only offer mobile services.
The chart below attempts to show who are the main players by province. In Quebec, the graphic reflects the territorial split for TELUS and Bell operations in the province. I have not shown where companies are offering just wireline services (such as Shaw in Manitoba and Saskatchewan – WIND Mobile does not hold spectrum in those provinces) and this chart also does not reflect direct to home satellite TV service, nor smaller regional wireless companies such as Thunder Bay.
