Dear Mr. Tellier:

Re: application number 2011-1091-5

This is in reference to your application to exempt Sogetel inc.’s video-on-demand undertaking from the requirement to close-caption community and local expression programming.

Section 22 of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure provides that an applicant must serve its application on a respondent defined as a person who is “adverse in interest”. The guidelines on the Rules of procedure[1] include a chart of persons generally considered to be respondents (paragraph 61). The list is not exhaustive since parties that can be considered respondents depend on the specific facts of the application.

We note that you have not served your application on respondents that could be “adverse in interest”. Please note that, with respect to accessibility of services, the Centre québécois de la déficience auditive (CQDA) could be “adverse in interest”.

You are therefore required to serve the application noted above on respondents by 4 August 2011. Note that a document is not served until it is received by the intended recipient. Therefore, if you are serving a person by mail, you must send it in time for it to be delivered on or before 4 August 2011.

Furthermore, as per section 5 of the application form, Respondents, please revise the chart below with the required information as stated in the Rules of Practice and Procedure.
