Requests for information addressed to Bell Canada
- Is DMTS a separate legal entity? If no, provide:
- the date it stopped being a separate legal entity and the name of the legal entity that purchased it; and
- the monthly residential high-cost NAS counts, by band, for the end of each month from the time it stopped being a separate legal entity until 31 December 2016.
- Is KMTS a separate legal entity? If no, provide:
- the date it stopped being a separate legal entity and the name of the legal entity that purchased it; and
- the monthly residential high-cost NAS counts, by band, for the end of each month from the time it stopped being a separate legal entity until 31 December 2016.
- If either DTMS or KMTS has been purchased by a large ILEC and is no longer a separate legal entity, explain, with supporting rationale, why separate subsidy, based on the small ILEC subsidy regime, should still be provided, instead of the corresponding large ILEC subsidy.
