LetterOttawa, 13 February 2008 File No.: 8663-C12-200717738 Via Email To: Distribution list (see attached) Re: Follow-up to Telecom Decision CRTC 2007-125: CRTC Interconnection Steering Committee - Non-Consensus Report on a Functional Architecture for the Implementation of Nomadic VoIP 9-1-1 Service in Canada (Decision 2007-125) The Commission is in receipt of a letter from Cogeco Cable Inc., Quebecor Media Inc., Rogers Communications Inc. and Shaw Communications Inc. (collectively, the Cable Companies), dated 5 February 2008, regarding the proceeding established in Decision 2007-125. In their letter, the Cable Companies requested at a minimum, a four week extension to the 29 February 2008 deadline to file an economic evaluation as directed in Decision 2007-125. The Cable Companies also proposed that they be provided an opportunity, prior to filing the economic evaluation, for an additional interrogatory process. In a letter dated 8 February 2008, Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership, Bell Canada , Saskatchewan Telecommunications and TELUS Communications Company (collectively, the Companies) submitted that they are prepared to accept a 30 day extension should the Commission agree that an extension is warranted. The Companies also submitted that an interrogatory process would not be an appropriate way to address any questions the Cable Companies may have. As an alternative, the Companies proposed to have either a conference call or a face-to-face meeting between the representatives of the Companies and the Cable Companies. Commission staff considers that based on the information provided it is appropriate to grant both the Cable Companies and the Companies an extension, to 28 March 2008 , to file their economic evaluations. Commission staff notes that following the Companies proposals above, the Cable Companies and MTS Allstream expressed support for having a conference call between their representatives and the Companies' specifically to address their questions. Accordingly, the Cable Companies, the Companies and MTS Allstream Inc. are requested to set up such a meeting as soon as possible, and no later than 29 February 2008. In light of the above, the schedule in Decision 2007-125 is revised as follows:
