"The Source" bought by Bell Canada

After Circuit City recently closing all their locations in the US, now the Canadian branch of the company The Source is no longer in trouble, they're getting bought by Bell. They will be using The Source as an outlet to sell their products, cellphones, highspeed internet and expressvu TV.

I find it a bit weird, especially since outside of Manitoba, most malls outside of Manitoba that do have an abundance of Bell products already have a Bell store plus a "The Source" in the same building.
I wonder if they will stop selling competitor products, but how will it go in places like Manitoba/Saskatchewan that don't have Bell Highspeed internet or cellphones, "Oh hi, we no longer sell cellphones, you'll have to go to the Rogers Plus kiosk if you want a Rogers cellphone"
