On 15 April 2013 Commission staff received the responses submitted by Bell Aliant Regional Communications, L.P. (Bell Aliant), in its Atlantic serving territory, to the request for information dated 27 March 2013. The responses to this request for information were intended to update the responses to a similar request for information sent by Commission staff on 25 May 2012. After reviewing these responses, Commission staff notes that the following sections were incomplete, or require clarification, and therefore requests that the responses to the following questions be submitted by 28 June 2013 to complete the original request.
1. Refer to the company’s response to Bell Aliant-Atlantic(CRTC)27Mar13-4. For years 2011 and 2012, for all segments, and for each serving territory, confirm that the values for the number of Network Access Service (NAS) and the associated revenues are correct. For example, the company’s response indicates that it had # # wireline NAS in New Brunswick in 2011 which generated # $ # in revenues. Where necessary, provide the corrected figures.
