Rogers Communications is one of Canada’s biggest telecom companies. It sells wireless phone plans, home internet, TV, and home phone service to consumers, and it also sells network and communication services to businesses and public institutions. A large part of its business comes from monthly service fees, plus sales of phones, modems, and other devices tied to those services.

The company also owns media assets, including sports and entertainment brands, which help it earn money from advertising, subscriptions, and content distribution. That media side gives Rogers a role beyond a plain phone company: it can both deliver the connection and own some of the content that people watch and listen to.

Rogers makes money mostly by charging customers for access to its wireless and broadband networks, and by selling equipment and related services. Its business model is built around long-term customer relationships and the need for constant investment in network infrastructure, which makes it a core utility-like player in Canada’s communications industry.
