Dear Mr. Daniels:

Re:  Part VII Application by Bell Canada requesting forbearance from the regulation of Bell Canada’s high-speed intra-exchange digital network access (DNA) services in specific wire centres in Ontario and Québec

On 26 June 2009, Bell Canada filed the above-mentioned Part VII application, requesting that the Commission forbear from regulating high-speed intra-exchange digital network access (high-speed DNA) services in 35 wire centres in Ontario and Quebec
(Bell Canada’s forbearance application).

On 1 February 2010, the Commission released Telecom Regulatory Policy 2010-50.  In Telecom Regulatory Policy 2010-50, the Commission provided clarification to the
high-speed DNA services forbearance reporting requirements set out in Telecom Decision 2007-35.

On 5 April 2010, MTS Allstream filed a Part VII Application requesting that the Commission review and vary Telecom Regulatory Policy 2010-50 (MTS Allstream’s Part VII Application).

In light of MTS Allstream’s Part VII Application and the impact that the disposition of that application could have on the high-speed DNA services forbearance reporting requirements, the Commission is suspending review of Bell Canada’s forbearance application pending disposition of MTS Allstream’s Part VII Application.

Yours sincerely,
