Re:  Part 1 Application by SSi Micro Ltd. dated 23 June 2011 regarding Northwestel’s Backbone Connectivity Services – Revised procedural letter

Dear Mr. Yeulett and Mr. Proctor:

On 29 September 2011, the Commission received a letter from Northwestel Inc. (Northwestel) requesting an extension for the filing of further information and disclosure and final reply. Northwestel cited resource limitations as its regulatory and executive staff are involved in an Oral Hearing regarding the regulatory framework and local competition in Northwestel’s serving territory.

Under the circumstances, Northwestel’s request for an extension is reasonable. Accordingly, the process dates set-out in the procedural letter dated 22 September 2011 are revised as follows:

Yours sincerely,

Original signed by

Mario Bertrand
Director, Competition Implementation and Technology
