BCE has strong wireless, wireline, and media units, but all three face challenges to growth, due to a combination of competition, a diminishing industrywide supply of new potential customers, and a reliance on legacy services.
Lower wireless penetration than in the US and Europe leaves Canada with more opportunity for market growth, and BCE is positioned to take its fair share as an industry leader with a top-tier network.
Quebecor’s push to become a national wireless player weighs on BCE’s pricing power, which will lead to stagnant sales if the firm can't reaccelerate new subscriber additions.
