RE: Application for an order that TELUS Communications Company’s (TCC) censuses of its support structures to determine the number of service poles in use by licensees are in breach of directives contained in Telecom Order CRTC 2013-114

Dear Sir,

On 19 December 2013, Mascon Cable Systems Inc. (Mascon) filed an intervention with regard to Shaw’s above-noted application.

Commission staff notes that, pursuant to subsection 26(1) of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure (the Rules), any interested person may intervene in a proceeding in writing within 30 days after the day on which the application is posted on the Commission’s website. Staff also notes that, pursuant to section 8 of the Rules, the Commission may return an application or complaint that does not comply with a requirement of the Rules of Procedure.

Commission staff notes that Mascon’s intervention was filed 56 days after Shaw filed its application, and that it was therefore filed outside of the 30-day window for interested persons to intervene in a proceeding.

Accordingly, Mascon’s intervention is out of process and therefore will not form part of the public record of this proceeding.

With regard to the relief requested by Mascon in its intervention, Commission staff encourages Mascon to negotiate with TCC in order to obtain its requested relief or, failing that, file a Part 1 application with the Commission.

Yours sincerely,

Mario Bertrand
Director, Dispute Resolution
