Subject: Broadband Expansion Rollout Plan - Telecom Decision 2007-50
Dear Mr. Bibic:
On 5 October 2007, Bell Canada and Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership (collectively, Bell Canada et al.) submitted their broadband expansion rollout plan (the rollout plan) for Commission approval pursuant to paragraph 13 of Telecom Decision 2007-50. [1] This letter constitutes the Commission's determinations with respect to Bell Canada et al. proposed rollout plan.
The Commission notes that Bell Canada et al. proposed to expand broadband services to 18 communities approved in Telecom Decision 2007-50.
Based on a review of the information provided by Bell Canada et al., the Commission is satisfied that the proposed rollout plan and associated deferral account drawdowns are consistent with its determinations in Telecom Decision 2007-50.
The Commission notes, however, that the issue of whether deferral account funds can be used in the communities of Dublin, Ontario, and Île-aux-Coudres, Quebec has been raised in separate applications to review and vary Telecom Decision 2007-50.
In light of the above, the Commission approves Bell Canada et al.'s rollout plan, except for Bell Canada et al.'s proposal to use deferral account funds to expand broadband services to Dublin, Ontario and Île-aux-Coudres, Quebec .
Sincerely,
Original signed by Paul Godin
