    Attention Business Editors:
    Rogers Telecom Inc. (formerly Call-Net) Closes Transaction to Acquire
    Group Telecom Assets in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and Acquires
    Additional Fibre in Ontario and Quebec

    TORONTO, Oct. 3 /CNW/ - Rogers Telecom Inc. (formerly Sprint Canada), a
subsidiary of Rogers Communications Inc., announced today that it has acquired
most of the Group Telecom assets in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia from Bell
Canada, completing a transaction announced on May 2, 2005. The transaction is
part of Call-Net's acquisition of the 360networks Corporation (360/GT)
customer base in Eastern Canada from Bell Canada, originally announced on
November 22, 2004.
    Specifically, Rogers Telecom has completed the transaction to acquire
approximately 3,300 route kilometres of multi-stranded local and regional
fibre, switching infrastructure, incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC)
co-locations and point-of-presence (POP) and hub sites, in New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia. As previously disclosed, the total value of this portion of the
transaction is $12.6 million.
    Rogers Telecom's agreement with Bell Canada to provide services and
maintain the network in these provinces has been amended to reflect the change
in ownership.
    In addition, Rogers Telecom has exercised a portion of its option on Bell
Canada owned Group Telecom assets in Ontario and Quebec, acquiring
approximately 3,400 route kilometres of multi-stranded dark fibre, for
$12.0 million. Rogers Telecom continues to hold an option on the remaining lit
and operational portion of the former Group Telecom network in Ontario, Quebec
and Newfoundland &amp; Labrador. If the remaining option is exercised, Rogers
Telecom would expect to close by the end of 2006.
