From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is there any way of setting up a flowchart showing the mergers of telcos? Numbers in brackets refer to columns.

e.g. (1)Terra Nova Tel and (1)Newfoundland Tel merged into (2)Newfoundland Tel, later renamed (2a)Newtel, later merged with MT&T, IslandTel and NBTel into (3)Aliant, which became part of (4)Bell Aliant Regional Communications operations

e.g. (1)Bell Canada, split into (4)Bell Canada operations and (4)Bell Aliant operations

e.g. (1)BC Tel, purchased by (4)Telus Inc.

e.g. (1)Quebec Telephone, absorbed by (4)Telus Inc.

e.g. (1)AGT, privatized as (2)Telus, acquisitions to (4)Telus Inc.

Companies with no known mergers, or more complex history, to show in column 4:

(4)Sasktel
