Competition Bureau Sues Rogers for Misleading Data Claims
The Competition Bureau has initiated legal proceedings against Rogers Communications for allegedly deceptive advertising of its Infinite mobile plans as unlimited. According to the Bureau, these plans actually impose data limits, throttling speeds after caps are reached. The Bureau seeks cessation of the misleading ads, imposition of penalties, and restitution for affected consumers. This development could affect Rogers' competitive positioning and impact consumer trust across the telecom sector.
