RE: Status Report on Issues that were referred to Bilateral Discussions in Telecom Decision CRTC 2015-40
Dear Madams, Sirs:
In Telecom Decision CRTC 2015-40, Canadian Network Operators Consortium Inc. - Application to improve the quality of wholesale high-speed access services provided by cable carriers to independent Internet service providers, 12 February 2015, Cogeco Cable Inc., Rogers Communications Partnership, Shaw Cablesystems G.P., and Videotron G.P. [collectively, the Cable carriers] and the Canadian Network Operators Consortium Inc. (CNOC) were directed to address a number of issues related to the provisioning of wholesale high-speed access services by the Cable carriers though the CRTC Interconnection Steering Committee or bilateral discussions.
Specifically, the Commission directed CNOC and the Cable carriers to resolve the following four issues through bilateral discussions:

- Mistaken disconnections due to inconsistent tagging of TPIA cable connections;
- Network safeguards (Bidirectional Forward Detection); and
- Internet Protocol address allocation and usage reports.
On 8 February 2016, the CISC 1540 Ad Hoc Working Group co-chairs submitted an updated status report on behalf CNOC and the Cable carriers, identifying the state of progress in resolving the issues referred to bilateral discussions. The report indicated CNOC and the Cable carriers had resolved issues regarding the TPIA service sign-up process and that remaining resolutions of issues in the bilateral discussions were in progress.
Accordingly, CNOC and the Cable carriers are to submit a report by 23 September 2016 on the state of progress in resolving the remaining issues that were referred to bilateral discussions.
