Re: Local competition in small ILEC territories – Request for extension for the filing of replies
Dear Sir:
On 12 September 2011, the Association des Compagnies de Téléphone du Québec (ACTQ) asked that the Commission allow its members to file amended implementation plans by 10 November 2011. This request followed a letter from GENBAND dated 2 September 2011, indicating that several of its switches will no longer be receiving technical maintenance and support in the next two to five years.
After having examined filings and comments by Cogeco Cable Inc., TELUS Communications Company and the ACTQ, Commission staff denies the request filed by ACTQ on 12 September 2011. Commission staff considers that switch replacement should be part of the regular activities of small incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs).
Sincerely,
Senior Manager, Tariffs
Telecommunications
