Re: Part 1 Application by the Canadian Network Operators Consortium Inc. requesting relief to improve the quality of wholesale high-speed access services provided by cable carriers to independent service providers – Request for extension

Dear Sir:

On 4 December 2013, the Commission received a request by Canadian Network Operators Consortium Inc. (CNOC) to extend the date to 23 December 2013 for filing its reply comments in the proceeding initiated by its Part 1 Application (application) filed on 27 September 2013.

CNOC submitted that in order to prepare a reply to the abundance of comments that were filed in response to its application, it had to obtain additional detailed input, which would require a significant amount of time and resources from its members.

On the same date, Cogeco Cable Inc., Quebecor Media Inc., on behalf of its affiliate Videotron G.P., Rogers Communications Partnership, and Shaw Cablesystems G.P. (collectively, the Cable Carriers) notified the Commission that they had no objection to CNOC’s requested extension.

In the circumstances, CNOC’s request for a 14 day extension for the filing of reply comments in this proceeding is considered reasonable. However, under the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure (Rules of Procedure), the holiday period from 21 December 2013 to 7 January 2014 is to be excluded when calculating a time period set out in Telecom Information Bulletin 2010-455.

Accordingly, CNOC may file its reply comments by 10 January 2014.

Consistent with the guidelines set out in Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin CRTC 2010-959, copies of reply comments referred to above are to be served on all parties to this proceeding. Copies of the documents should also be sent to pamela.cormier@crtc.gc.ca.

Yours sincerely,
