    Rogers' patience in finding a replacement CEO has paid off in spades. The Canadian telecom giant has just confirmed that Guy Laurence, Vodafone UK's current chief executive, will be its new leader as of December 2nd. The hire gives Rogers a CEO who's not only well-versed in mobile and media services, but has a reputation as a reformer -- he shook up Vodafone UK's corporate culture shortly after taking the reins in 2008. While it's not certain that he'll repeat history at Rogers, we wouldn't expect him to maintain the status quo for very long.
