NEWS RELEASE

SHAW TAKES ACTION AGAINST VONAGE CANADA

Calgary, AB (June 16, 2006) — Shaw Communications Inc. and its subsidiary, Shaw Cablesystems G.P., have filed the latest in a series of Court documents with respect to Shaw’s claim against Vonage Canada Corp. in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench, Calgary, to set the record straight on its Digital Phone Service and its Quality of Service Enhancement.

Shaw offers its highly successful Shaw Digital Phone Service over its own managed network. Vonage offers an Internet telephony service over the public Internet system with all its inherent limitations. Shaw therefore offers Shaw’s High Speed Internet customers who subscribe to voice over Internet telephony services provided by third parties like Vonage, an entirely optional service known as Quality of Service Enhancement (QOS). QOS is intended to enhance the broadband experience of those Shaw High Speed Internet customers who subscribe to voice over Internet services, whether with Vonage or others.

Shaw’s QOS Enhancement is at the heart of the dispute with Vonage as a result of certain publications and allegations made by Vonage which Shaw considers misleading and defamatory. Shaw commenced its lawsuit to stop Vonage from making these statements and to set the record straight on the QOS Enhancement service and the material differences between Shaw’s Digital Phone Service and Vonage’s voice over Internet service.

Shaw Communications Inc. is a diversified Canadian communications company whose core business is providing broadband cable television, High-Speed Internet, Digital Phone, telecommunications services (through Big Pipe Inc.) and satellite direct-to-home services (through Star Choice Communications Inc.) to over three million customers. Shaw is traded on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges and is included in the S&P/TSX 60 Index (Symbol: TSX – SJR.B, NYSE – SJR).
