Bell is taking Manitoba Telecomm to court with an injunction to prevent it from closing its purchase of Allstream. The deal would make MTS not the regional player in an insignificant market: i.e., a good friend and ally for Bell; it would be a major national player in the business market among others, i.e., a competitor. So, what's a former effective monopolist (Ontario/Quebec, d'uh!) to do. Put a stop to this troublesome change. Well, they're trying. Story here: MTS-Allstream deal hits Bell roadblock.
