          Restricted Voting shares of Rogers Wireless for a cash purchase price
          of $36.37 per share. A copy of the purchase agreement has been filed
          separately on SEDAR.

          RCI and Rogers Wireless also announced that Rogers Wireless has made
          filings iwth the Canadian Competition Bureau regarding a possible
          offer to acquire Microcell Telecommunications Inc. ("Microcell") and
          is amending the RCI short form base shelf prospectus dated April 15,
          2004 to reflect such filings and RCI's press releases dated September
          13, 2004.

ITEM 5    FULL DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CHANGE

          Closing of the transaction with JVII is expected to occur on or about
          October 13, 2004, with RCI entitled to accelerate that date upon
          written notice to JVII. Upon closing, JVII will convert the Class A
          Multiple Voting shares into Class B Restricted Voting shares of Rogers
          Wireless. Also upon closing, the shareholders' agreement among RCI,
          Rogers Wireless and JVII dated August 16, 1999, as amended, and the
          registration rights agreement between Rogers Wireless and JVII, also
          dated August 16, 1999 will terminate.

          RCI expects to fund the approximate C$1,767.4 million cash purchase
          price for the 48.6 million Rogers Wireless shares under a bridge
          financing facility of up to two years with a group of Canadian
          financial institutions.

          Under the September 13, 2004 purchase agreement, JVII has agreed that
          its consent is not required under the shareholders' agreement in order
          for RCI or Rogers Wireless to offer to purchase or acquire shares or
          assets of Microcell. This provision is to enhance the flexibility of
          RCI and Rogers Wireless as it pertains to their ongoing review of
          current wireless industry developments and consolidation activities
          and the related possibility of offering to purchase, alone or with
          others, shares or assets of Microcell. The second September 13, 2004
          news release indicated that neither RCI nor Rogers Wireless has made
          any


<PAGE>


          decision in respect of any such matters and there is no assurance that
          any such initiative will be pursued.

          The September 16, 2004 news release indicated that Rogers Wireless has
          filed a request for an advance ruling certificate and a short form
          pre-merger notification with the Canadian Competition Bureau relating
          to a possible offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of
          Microcell. Those filings have been made to put Rogers Wireless in a
          position to make such an offer on an expedited basis if a decision
          were to be made to do so. In addition, Rogers Wireless has previously
          entered into a Confidentiality and Standstill Agreement with
          Microcell, has performed certain due diligence under that agreement,
          and has had preliminary discussions with Microcell and others and
          expects such discussions to continue.

          RCI and Rogers Wireless intend to continue to take appropriate steps
          that would expedite the making of a possible offer to purchase, alone
          or with others, shares or assets of Microcell, if a decision were to
          be made to do so. There is no assurance that such offer would be made.
          The funding for such an offer has not been arranged.
