Requests for information

To CNOC

  1. In its reply comments CNOC stated “If IISPs cannot obtain some form of extension in the transition period to aggregated POIs to match the typical three year terms of any agreements for facilities into which they entered before TRP 2011-703 was issued, in a number of cases the IISPs may be in the position of having to terminate those agreements early, incur significant termination charges and also pay for new facilities connecting their networks to the new aggregated POIs.”

    For each CNOC member that is using TPIA services at disaggregated POIs and had entered into 3 year contracts for facilities for interconnecting their sites to disaggregated POIs before TRP 2011-703 was issued, provide the financial impacts on the company resulting from early termination of these contracts if the 2 year transition period is maintained.  Provide details on the facilities at issue including facility types, quantities of facilities, monthly charge by facility, and termination charge by facility.

To Cogeco, Quebecor, Rogers

  1. In their comments the cable carriers stated “CNOC’s request would extend the transition period to November 2014.  This would penalize Cable Carriers with more disaggregated POIs by requiring them to invest in maintaining those POIs while also making new investments to turn up and maintain aggregated POIs.”

    Provide estimates of the additional investments that the company would have to make to maintain disaggregated POIs if the transition period for movement to aggregated POIs was extended from two years to three years.  Provide details on the types of investments, specifying what the investment is for and the size of the investment, with supporting rationale for why it would be required in light of the extended transition period.  Explain with supporting rationale whether each type of investment is reusable, either for the company’s own purposes or for support of its TPIA service.
