RE: Tariff Notice No. 37 – Third Party Internet Access

Dear Sir:

On 21 April 2014, the Commission received an application from Rogers Communications Partnership (Rogers) associated with Tariff Notice No. 37 in which the company proposed tariff amendments to its Access Services Tariff CRTC 21530 to revise Section 1.1.2.ii.c) of Item 703, PART G – Tariff for Third Party Internet Access.

Paragraph 28(1)(a) of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure provides that the Commission may request parties to file information or documents where needed.

Rogers is requested to provide responses to the attached interrogatories by 14 May 2014.

Sincerely,

    1. "Labour Fee: An hourly rate for technical work related to the ISP connection at the POI that is not covered by the approved service charges a) and b) of Item ii)"

    2. Provide a list of all major activities (services) undertaken by Rogers, or a third party, which are applicable to Internet Service Providers under the above tariff item (Labour Fee).
