Re: Review of basic telecommunications services, Telecom Notice of Consultation 2015 134Footnote 1 – Request to rule the issue of equal access out of scope or modify the procedure
Dear Madam, Sir:
On 19 October 2015, the Commission received a request from Yak Communications (Canada) Corp. (Yak), which requested that the Commission issue a letter notifying parties that the provision of equal access as a wholesale service is not within the scope of the above-noted proceeding. In the alternative, Yak requested that the Commission revise the schedule to permit parties that are not participating in the proceeding, to pose interrogatories and file comments.
TELUS Communications Company (TCC) filed comments on 22 October 2015 opposing Yak’s request that equal access be considered out of scope of the proceeding. TCC submitted that equal access is within the scope of the issues identified in Telecom Notice of Consultation 2015-134, and the fact that the Commission has asked for additional information related to equal access obligations demonstrates that equal access forms part of the review of basic telecommunication services. TCC stated that it would not oppose Yak’s participation should Yak subsequently indicate to the Commission, and participating parties, that it wished to be an intervener.
Other parties may file comments, by November 2, 2015, regarding Yak’s request. Please note that documents must be received, not merely sent, by the specified date.
Sincerely,
Original signed by
John Macri
