    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Rogers Communications Inc. will increase the cost of some of its plans in the coming weeks, the company confirmed to CBC News on Wednesday.

    The Rogers price hike will impact some customers’ wireless phone plans and internet plans, including customers of its subsidiary Fido, a spokesperson for the telecom giant told CBC News.

    “We are committed to delivering mobile and residential services with the highest standard of quality and reliability to bring our customers the best network experience,” a Rogers spokesperson said in a statement.

    The long-brewing deal, first announced in March 2021, was subject to a number of regulatory hurdles as opponents expressed concerns about decreased competition.

    When the deal was made official in April 2023, Rogers CEO Tony Staffieri pledged in an interview that prices would go down for customers.

    At the same time, Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne announced nearly two dozen “enforceable” conditions attached to the deal’s approval, including reducing costs for customers.
