RE: Registration of Groupe Maskatel LP as a CLEC

On 11 October 2013, Groupe Maskatel LP (Groupe Maskatel) completed the requirements to register as a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC). Based on the information provided, Groupe Maskatel meets the requirements to be placed on the CLEC list as a CLEC and is hereby authorized to:

• Provide local switched services as a CLEC provided it continues to meet the requirements set out in Decision 97-8 (http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/comm/telecom/eslcclec.htm)
• Provide local switched services as a CLEC in the exchanges where Maskatel Inc., Téléphone Drummond inc. and Téléphone Guèvremont inc. provided local switched services as a CLEC.

Groupe Maskatel is reminded that in order to remain on any Facilities-Based registration list(s), it must comply with the appropriate regulatory regime and complete the following forms in the Data Collection System (DCS) on an annual basis:
• Canadian Telecommunications Common Carrier Ownership and Control Filings
• Registration List Contact Information
• Reporting Entity Profile
• Annual Revenue Report Form

The registered entity must also keep any information in its Basic International Telecommunications Services (BITS) license application current.

Failure to comply with any of the above noted statutory requirements will result in the revocation of Groupe Maskatel‘s authority to provide service and removal from the CRTC’s registration list(s).

Yours sincerely,
