LetterOttawa, 11 June 2008 File No.: 8662-B2-200807076 and Addressee: Bell Canada et al. Re: Requests with respect to applications to review and vary certain wholesale ADSL service determinations in Telecom Decision 2008-17 By application dated 15 May 2008, Bell Canada, Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership, Saskatchewan Telecommunications and Télébec, Société en commandite (Bell Canada et al.) requested that the Commission review and vary determinations in Revised regulatory framework for wholesale services and definition of essential service , Telecom Decision CRTC 2008-17, 3 March 2008 (Decision 2008-17) with respect to the unbundled ADSL access service (15 May application). By application dated 21 May 2008, MTS Allstream Inc. (MTS Allstream) requested that the Commission review and vary determinations in that Decision with respect to, among other things, the aggregated ADSL access service and TELUS Communications Company's (TCC's) network-to network interface (NNI) (referred to below, together with Bell Canada et al.'s 15 May application, as the wholesale ADSL appeals). By letter dated 2 June 2008, TCC requested that the wholesale ADSL appeals be merged in one proceeding. By letter dated 3 June 2008, Cybersurf Corp. (Cybersurf), opposed TCC' request, and further requested that consideration of the wholesale ADSL appeals be deferred until the disposition of the Canadian Association of Internet Providers' (CAIP's) Part VII application, dated 3 April 2008 regarding Bell Canada's shaping of the aggregated ADSL service traffic. In Commission staff's view, it would be appropriate to consider MTS Allstream's application as it relates to the aggregated ADSL access service, including TCC' NNI, as part of the proceeding initiated by Bell Canada et al.'s 15 May application. Commission staff does not consider it appropriate to defer consideration of the wholesale ADSL appeals as requested by Cybersurf. MTS Allstream's 21 May 2008 application as it relates to the aggregated ADSL access service, including TELUS' NNI, will therefore be considered in the same proceeding as Bell Canada et al. 's 15 May application. Parties wishing to submit comments in this proceeding may do so by 25 June 2008, serving copies on all other parties by that date . Bell Canada et al. and MTS Allstream may submit comments in reply by 7 July 2008, serving copies on all other parties by that date. Commission staff notes that parties to this proceeding include those to whom this letter is addressed as well as those to whom this letter has been copied. It is noted that the comment and reply dates for MTS Allstream's 21 May 2008 application as it relates to Ethernet services remain 20 June 2008 and 30 June 2008, respectively. Comments must be received, not merely sent, by these dates. Original signed by Paul Godin, |
