As long as they don't stop offering Starlink direct to home owners and RV users as a result of this. Unfortunately, given how aggressive and monopolistic Rogers is I could see this being an outcome. I'm sure Rogers has at least pushed for it.

For non-Canadians, Rogers is the largest but also the absolute worst mobile/internet/tv provider in Canada. They routinely use grey area tactics to both bully competitors, and even bully customers.

For example, long in the past I rented an apartment in a large rental building. The building had a no solicitors rule. However, Rogers would routinely come into the building knocking on doors, somehow they got an exception with management who supplied them with a list of all non-rogers customers.

Where it got really obnoxious is that every month they would also have someone come and shove papers under your door that had a big "notice from management" on it. Photocopied like, looking for all the world like you were in trouble. Open up the paper, Rogers ad.

This is really pretty minor as far as this company goes.
