Dear Mr.Connors

Re: Forbearance from regulation of local exchange services , Telecom Public Notice CRTC 2005-2 - Response to direction for disclosure of confidential information and further responses to interrogatories

In the Commission letter dated 1 September 2005, Bell Canada was directed to file the NBI/Michael Sone Associates, Canadian Local Telecommunications Services Market Report, 2004 Edition, November 2004 report on the public record.

In its response dated 8 September 2005 , Bell Canada has indicated that it is unable to file the report on the public record due to reasons of copyright.

Commission staff considers that if any party wishes to rely on the information in this report to support its positions with respect to this proceeding, the report should be placed on the public record of this proceeding.

Commission staff notes that Aliant Telecom has also referenced this report in its submissions. In light of this, Aliant is requested to indicate that it will either file the report on the public record, or withdraw the report and all references to the report from the record of this proceeding.

Aliant Telecom is requested to advise the Commission staff of its decision with respect to this matter no later than noon on 19 September 2005. If Aliant Telecom wishes to rely upon this report to support its positions, it is requested to file the reports on the public record no later than 21 September, 2005.

Should you require any additional information, please contact Heather MacDonald at 997-9231
