Attachment

In a letter dated 25 July 2007 regarding the above noted application, Rogers Communication Inc. (RCI) submitted that it did not offer business local exchange services in the operating territory of TELUS Communications Company (TCC) over its own cable facilities.   TCC has, on the same record, identified that the former CNCI [1] , now owned by RCI, was co-located in 23 of the exchanges for which it had requested forbearance.

a)  Confirm that RCI is co-located in the exchanges identified by TCC;

b)  Confirm whether or not RCI offers business local exchange services via leased local loops in the exchanges in question; and

c)   Confirm whether or not RCI is able to offer business local exchange services via leased local loops to at least 75% of business customers in the exchanges in question.   If not, provide the reasons why RCI cannot and estimate for each exchange to what percentage of business customers RCI is able to offer business local exchange services.
