Re: Obligation to Serve and Other Matters, Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2010-43 (as amended) – Organization and conduct of the oral hearing – Follow up
Dear Madam/Sir:
As stated in the Commission’s letter dated 17 September 2010, this letter is intended to assist parties with respect to the structure and approach of their oral and written submissions.
Structure and Approach of Submissions
Parties are asked to present their submissions at the oral hearing, as well as any post-hearing written submissions, in accordance with the structure and approach set out in the Appendix to this letter. Submissions should be supported by appropriate rationale and should identify relevant impacts. The Commission Panel’s questions at the hearing will be structured consistent with the approach set out in the Appendix.
Parties are reminded that post-hearing submissions, which are to be filed with the Commission and copies served on other parties by 12 November 2010, are not to exceed 15 pages and are to include an executive summary no longer than 5 pages.
Copies of Documents Filed
All parties are also reminded that, with respect to any documents filed at the oral hearing (such as prepared remarks, exhibits, or responses to undertakings), 30 copies must be provided to the Hearing Secretary for the Commission’s use. Copies of all such documents must also be served on all other parties present at the oral hearing on the date the document is filed.
Sincerely,
Original signed by:
Robert A. Morin
Secretary General
Appendix
Structure and Approach of Submissions
Reassessing the obligation to serve (O2S) and the basic service objective (BSO):
1. In which markets (i.e. forborne, non-forborne) should the O2S and the BSO apply, if at all?
2. Should only the incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) be subject to the O2S and the BSO where the measures are maintained?
3. Can wireless voice service satisfy the O2S and the BSO?
Determining the role of the Commission with respect to high-speed Internet access:
1. Should the Commission establish a target consisting of technical specifications for access to high-speed Internet service? If so, what should those technical specifications include (e.g. targets for upload/download speeds) and in what time frame should the target be achieved?
2. Should the Commission mandate the provision of access to such a service in areas where it is not provided?
3. Should the Commission establish a fund to enable Canadians to access high-speed Internet service in areas where it is not provided?
Reassessing the local service subsidy regime:
1. Should the Commission modify the local service subsidy regime? If so, how?
2. Should the Commission review costs and/or high-cost serving area definitions used in the calculation of subsidy amounts?
Re-examination of local competition in the territories of the small ILECs:
1. Should local competition continue to be introduced in small ILEC markets? If so, what should the terms and conditions be?
2. Given your position on O2S, BSO, and local subsidy, should the small ILECs be subject to any special considerations? If so, what should those considerations be?
