RE: Tariff Notice 899: Wholesale Connect Service – Fibre Link Charge
Dear Mr. Yeulet,
The Commission requires more information to complete its assessment of the proposed costs that were submitted by NorthwesTel on 28 March 2013 in support of the Fibre Link charge associated with Tariff Notice 899: Wholesale Connect Service.
Responses to the interrogatories found in Attachment 1 are to be filed with the Commission and served on all interested parties by 1 May 2013.
All parties may file additional written comments with the Commission in relation to NorthwesTel’s response to the interrogatories serving copies on all other parties,
by 10 May 2013. NorthwesTel may file reply comments with the Commission by 17 May 2013.
In Confidentiality of information used to establish wholesale service rates - Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2012-592 (TRP 2012-592), dated 26 October 2012, the Commission established disclosure guidelines for cost information filed in support of wholesale services.
Consistent with TRP 2012-592, the company is to disclose, on the public record, all time estimates for activities identified in Attachment 2 of the company’s application dated 28 March 2013 filed in support of TN 899 and in the interrogatory responses to be filed by 1 May 2013.
Where a document is to be filed or served by a specific date, the document must be actually received, not merely sent, by that date. Copies of the documents should also be sent to marc.pilon@crtc.gc.ca.
Yours sincerely,
