A lawyer for Shaw Communications Inc. said the Competition Bureau’s case against the company’s proposed merger with Rogers Communications Inc. is built on false assumptions and not based in reality. Kent Thomson said in closing arguments Wednesday at a Competition Tribunal hearing that the assumptions and evidence about the market share of Shaw’s mobile operations put forth by the regulator and the prospects for future profitability of the business don’t stand up to the evidence. He focused on the conclusions of Nathan Miller, a Georgetown University professor who compiled a report opposing the deal, which the regulator cited in its closing arguments. Thomson said Miller considerably inflated the market share of Shaw’s mobile division in his report, which helped form the basis of his opposition.
