RE: Appointment of an Inquiry Officer to review matters related to transport services provided by satellite – Additional Requests for information

Dear Madam, Sir:

In Telecom Notice of Consultation 2014-44,Footnote 1 the Commission announced that Commissioner Candice Molnar will conduct an inquiry with respect to the Canadian marketplace for satellite services that are used by telecommunications service providers (TSPs) to provide telecommunications services to Canadians.

As part of the inquiry process, the Inquiry Officer is seeking information regarding satellite and related services, from various stakeholders involved in providing telecommunications services in remote areas in Canada, and requests for information were posed to parties in a 2 June 2014 letter to a number of parties involved in the delivery or use of satellite services.

The responses to those requests for information have been reviewed and the Inquiry Officer has identified a number of areas where additional information is needed or would be useful. Accordingly, a number of further requests for information are included as an attachment to this letter.

The parties identified for each request for information are requested to provide a response to that request for information. Parties are reminded that information filed in their responses should be able to be placed on the public record and confidentiality claimed only where absolutely necessary.

All responses are to be filed with the Inquiry Officer by 21 August 2014. These responses are to be received, and not merely sent, by this date.

Yours sincerely,

Original signed by

Andrew Falcone
