They might eventually merge, but I would not bet Bell will be in an advantageous position if this were to happen. Also, due to their wireline positions, I wouldn't be so sure they would be allowed to merge without have to selloff assets to comfort regulators, so any merged company would likely be weakened on purpose and open the door to other players coming in at their expense (not easy to sell to shareholders) I’m not saying your right or wrong, but generally speaking, Bell is alot weaker than Telus right now, both in terms of reputation and financials.

I would venture to guess that this time next year, it will be a very different picture. I would harken to guess that once all of the new carriers roll out their services to Canadians next year, Telus will take a dramatic hit to their churn ratio and net activations will decrease substantially. My guess is, this time next year, Bell will make a bid for Telus in its weekend state and we will be right back to that magic 3 national networks that analysts have been talking about. Care to make a wager? Telus and Bell have been quite friendly for some time. Let's wait and see how this one plays out. What a pleasant way to comfort investors.
