Rogers CEO opens NYC Stock Exchange, says they “will have that advantage” over the competition

Nadir Mohamed, CEO of Rogers opened up the NYC Stock Exchange yesterday (ironically titled “Rogers Communications rogers-nycOpening Bell”…check out the video here) and afterwards he was interviewed about how he feels about Canadian wireless competition.

Mohamed said he is comfortable and “In no way do I see this as an environment where new players will get no customers. For some time… we will not see new players have anywhere near the kind of quality of network we have… We feel very strongly that we will have that advantage.”

Who knows what their network quality will be like, we’ll only know when they officially launch. The fact remains is that Canadians are ready to jump ship to test the new carriers… which should be a bit more on the minds of Rogers execs.

  1. I’m no fan of Big Red or Bellus for that matter; however, I do know the incumbents have spent a great deal of time resolving network quirks and are proven functional networks. Network reliability aside, the incumbents should refrain from resting on their laurels and be prepared to match if not beat competitor offerings. While Big Red stands to lose some customers, I would venture to guess that Telus, who is comfortably resting in third place, stands to lose the most when the telecom battle begins. I smell takeover! Bellus conspiracy aside, you can’t really blame Nadir for defending his turf!
