Telecoms in Canada

I suspect the decline in immigration is a driving factor. Hard to sell new phones and plans when there aren't new customers.

I think its more competition that is killing them. There has been a huge price war the past few months with the smaller players offering amazing data plans with Canada/US/Mexico roaming included for $20-$35. While the Big 3 own many of these smaller players, it means losing out on customers who were paying more for the same service.

Both you and those who have posted below you are correct.

The immigration component is 'a' factor' because Rogers was staffed for sustained growth.

But an equal or greater factor, as noted by @ericmacm and @Tuscani01 is both erosion of their existing customer base and lowering markups to stem same.
