Re: Telecom Notice of Consultation 2013-337 - Fact-finding process on the role of payphones in the Canadian communications system – Request for an extension to the filing date for responses to the Commission’s requests for information
In a letter dated 4 September 2013, Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership, on behalf of itself and Dryden Municipal Telephone System, KMTS, NorthernTel, Limited Partnership, and Télébec, Limited Partnership; and Bell Canada, on behalf of itself and Northwestel Inc. (collectively, the Companies), requested a three-week extension to the 10 September 2013 filing date for responses to the Commission’s requests for information issued on 16 July 2013. The Companies submitted that the request to extend the filing date to 1 October 2013 was necessary due to (a) the extensive work involved in producing and validating the requested cost studies, and (b) the absence of key resources during the latter part of July and August 2013. The Companies submitted that its proposed filing date of 1 October 2013 should apply to all parties filing responses to the Commission’s requests for information dated 16 July 2013.
By separate letters also dated 4 September 2013, TELUS Communications Company (TCC) and Saskatchewan Telecommunications (SaskTel) supported the Companies’ request.
The Commission considers that the Companies’ request, as supported by TCC and SaskTel, is reasonable given the amount of detailed information being requested by the Commission.
Accordingly, the Commission grants the requested three-week extension for the filing of responses to its requests for information. The Commission will issue an amendment to Fact-finding process on the role of payphones in the Canadian communications system, TelecomNotice of Consultation CRTC 2013-337, 16 July 2013 shortly, setting out a revised schedule for the remainder of the process associated with this notice.
