Throughout the 20th century Rogers grew and invested as a cable company that continued to dominate the cable market buying out many of its competitors till the early eighties where it began to invest mobile technology.

The difference is in the markets and the style of regulation between the US and Canada, You see in the markets of Canada there is a major difference between those and the US. The Big three in Canada work together rather then compete with their ties to CRTC, In economics this is called a "Cartel". However in the US market The big companies compete to sell the most data,air time and SMS as much as much as possible whether to it's own subscribers or other businesses, even more or so local providers using their network.This is because of a better regulation on law of how ISPs including mobile companies should regulate their net neutrality, Fiercely debated and yet emotionally fought for, What we broadcast and how should we broadcast it has been a fierce debate.

    In late 2009 Comcast decided to buy out GE’s Universal NBC Universal, which has since then led to more government regulation and intrusion in the marketplace than before. Although some may consider merging as pretty intrusive, this agreement has made the government a micromanager of media deals. It even forces Comcast to sell its content to outside distributors if certain conditions apply. On April 28, 2016, the FCC proposed a new price regulation for cable, which brought Comcast and other cable companies under a type of regulatory rule that was already applied to phone companies such as AT&T and Verizon.…

    The concept of radio broadcasting was still quite new and was mostly dominated by private broadcasters. The private broadcasters used it for publicity and profit. Moreover, the radio was closely monitored by the federal government because they thought that wireless communication needed supervision for security reasons. In addition, and unlike the United States, all Canadian radio owners had to buy a receiving-set license each year. However, later private broadcasters started to suffer from rising costs and less people were tuning into their stations because a lot of Canadians started to listen to American programs instead.…
