Dear Sirs :

Re:   Part VII application for forbearance from the regulation of residential local exchange services in the exchanges of Binbrook and Dunnville , Ontario

On 19 June 2008, the Commission received the above-mentioned Part VII application by Bell Canada pursuant to Telecom Decision 2006-15 as amended by the Governor in Council's Order Varying Telecom Decision CRTC 2006-15 , P.C. 2007-532, 4 April 2007.

In its reply comments dated 18 July 2008, Bell Canada noted that Mountain Cablevision Limited, in its comments dated 16 July 2008, failed to provide for the public record either the number of residential customers or the percentage of households that it believes it is capable of serving in each exchange of the above-mentioned application.

Pursuant to the Commission's practice established in Telecom Commission Letter,
dated 7 June 2007, a competitor capable of serving at least 50 percent of the total number of residential access lines, but less than 75 percent, is required to file the actual numbers and percentages pertaining to its capability on the public record.

Accordingly, Mountain Cablevision Limited is requested to file the above-mentioned information on the public record, by 13 August 2008.

Bell Canada may provide reply comments prior to 18 August 2008.

Where a document is to be filed by a specific date, the document must be received, and not merely sent, by that date.

Yours sincerely,

Original signed by
