BCE's Manitoba Telecom Takeover Approved With Conditions

Bell's $3.1 billion acquisition of Manitoba Telecom was approved by Canadian regulators with a condition to sell some subscribers to Explore Net Communications to maintain competition. Despite this, Explore Net will only hold 2% of the market, while Bell, Rogers, and Telus will dominate. Concerns remain about potential price increases in Manitoba, where prices have historically been lower due to competition from Manitoba Telecom.
