The mobile market is pretty saturated as most Canadians now have mobile phones. I don't really understand where these dinosaurs expect their growth to come from.

Mobile. And they know it. Every landline telephone and cable subscriber they lose is more than made up for by the high cost of internet and data plans. It is a major reason why Shaw bought Wind.
Shomi failed, but Rogers still has hopes for SN Now, for instance.
