Reuters is chiming in this evening with word that Canadian telco Rogers is ready to spend $710 million ($700 million in Canuck cash) to buy Mountain Cablevision Limited and license wireless spectrum from cable giant Shaw Communications. If Rogers sees fit, it can even buy up spectrum licenses from Shaw in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northern Ontario and Saskatchewan thanks to the deal. Cable channel TVtropolis, which is jointly owned by Shaw and Rogers, will see the remainder of its Shaw-owned stake bought up by Rogers for roughly 59 million Canadian dollars. There's no word on when the deal will be finalized, but you can expect to hear Rogers give itself a hearty pat on the back when it gets rubber-stamped.
