RE: Carrier Access Tariff
Dear Madam:
On 19 November 2012 and 6 December, Cochrane Telecom Services (CTS) submitted Tariff Notices 65 and 66 respectively, proposing changes to the company’s Wireless and Carrier Access Tariffs.
Paragraph 28(1)(a) of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure provides that the Commission may request parties to file information or documents where needed.
On 21 February 2013, Commission staff requested CTS respond to questions by 26 February 2013.
The Commission has not yet received a response from CTS. CTS is required to provide a complete response, with supporting rationale, to the attached questions by the end of business on 4 March 2013. Other parties may submit comments on Cochrane’s response by the end of business on 6 March 2013.
Copies of the documents should also be sent to cameron.warriner@crtc.gc.ca.
Yours sincerely,
Original signed by
Michel Murray
Director, Regulatory Implementation
