Dear Sirs:

Re: Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2013-80 – Review of outstanding wholesale high-speed access service issues related to optional upstream speed rates and modem certification requirements - Interrogatories

In a letter dated 8 May 2013, the Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership and Bell Canada (collectively, the Bell companies) provided responses to Commission staff issued interrogatories associated with Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2013-80.

The Commission requires additional information in order to complete its assessment of the optional upstream speed rates and modem certification requirements. Accordingly, Commission staff requests that the Bell companies provide for each of residential and business, the year-end total number of wholesale end-users subscribing to the optional upstream speeds of 7 Mbps or 10 Mbps for the years 2011, 2012, 2013, and place on the public record.
Responses to the interrogatories are to be filed with the Commission and served on all interested parties by 4 June 2013.
All parties may file additional written comments with the Commission solely in relation to the subject matter of the interrogatories, serving copies on all other parties by 6 June 2013.
All parties may file reply comments with the Commission solely in relation to the subject matter of the interrogatories, serving copies on all other parties, by 10 June 2013.
Where a document is to be filed or served by a specific date, the document must be actually received, not merely sent, by that date.

Parties may file their submissions electronically or on paper. Submissions longer than five pages should include a summary.

Electronic submissions should be in HTML format. As an alternative, those making submissions may use Microsoft Word for text and Microsoft Excel for spreadsheets.

Each paragraph of all submissions should be numbered. In addition, the line ***End of document*** should be entered following the last paragraph. This will help the Commission verify that the document has not been damaged during electronic transmission.

Yours sincerely,
