Companies reporting major news:

Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI.B). Telecommunications. The Toronto-based company is reporting a $9 million net loss in the fourth quarter, primarily because of its decision to shelve a development project and adopt Comcast’s platform for the next generation of cable TV delivery systems. The company says the previously announced Comcast partnership resulted in a $484-million expense item as Rogers discontinued work on its own IPTV product in favour of the one being developed by the Philadelphia-based cable giant.
