Table of Contents

     Information with respect to the directors and executive officers of the Reporting Persons is set forth in Annex A to this Amendment No. 3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

     Item 4 of the Original Filing is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     The Reporting Persons acquired in 1999 and 2001 the securities to which this Schedule 13D relates as a strategic investment in the business and operations of the Issuer. JVII is a party to a Shareholders Agreement with Rogers Communications Inc. (“Rogers Communications”) and the Issuer and a Registration Rights Agreement with the Issuer. The Shareholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are described in Item 6 of the Original Filing and are attached to the Original Filing as Exhibits A and C.

     On April 27, 2004, the Board of Directors of AT&T Wireless authorized its executive officers to explore options to monetize the securities to which this Schedule 13D relates. The Reporting Persons may sell all or a portion of such securities by way of private sale, public sale or otherwise, or may retain all or a portion of such securities. In connection with such authorization, on April 27, 2004, AT&T Wireless delivered a letter to Rogers Communications. A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit A to this Amendment No. 3 and is incorporated herein by reference. Any sales will depend on market, business and economic conditions, factors relating to the Issuer (including the market price of the securities), negotiated terms of a possible sale and other factors that AT&T Wireless may consider relevant. There can be no assurance that the Reporting Persons will dispose of any securities.

     As part of the terms of the Shareholders Agreement, the Reporting Persons are entitled to certain governance rights. These rights are discussed in greater detail in Item 6 of the Original Filing.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     Item 5 of the Original Filing is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Class A Multiple Voting Shares are convertible on a 1-for-1 basis into Class B Restricted Voting Shares. If all Class A Multiple Voting Shares held by the Reporting Persons are converted into Class B Restricted Voting Shares, the total number of Class B Restricted Voting Shares held by the Reporting Persons will total 48,594,172. This would represent 34.2% of the Class B Restricted Voting Shares assuming all issued and outstanding Class A Multiple Voting Shares are converted and 61.5% of the Class B Restricted Voting Shares if only the Class A Multiple Voting Shares that are held by the Reporting Persons are converted.
