Questions for CNOC:

  1. Refer to paragraph 57 of your intervention where you submitted that services included in the competitor quality of service (Q of S) regime should satisfy two criteria: (1) those services should be mandated wholesale services; and (2) those services must be deliverable at different Q of S performance levels. Clarify what your second proposed criterion refers to (i.e. what you mean by different Q of S performance levels), and provide examples of those performance levels.
  2. Do your members compile information about their wholesale service providers’ average service delivery time associated with the provision of mandated services to your members’ end‑users? If so, provide this information for 2014 to 2016 on a monthly basis for service installation, repair, and any other service changes, for at least your 10 largest members. If available, also provide a breakdown of the information requested above for each of these members’ wholesale service providers.
  3. Identify, and quantify to the extent possible, any barriers to switching wholesale service providers for mandated wholesale services. For example, outline any initial network-related investment as well as any cost to migrate customers over to a new underlying wholesale service.
  4. Provide your views on the feasibility of negotiating the inclusion of Q of S intervals in any off-tariff agreement for mandated wholesale services. Where members have completed or attempted this in the past,
    1. explain the process the member undertook;
    2. identify the other party, the wholesale service(s) in question, and any associated intervals; and
    3. describe the desired outcome, and the actual outcome, of the negotiation.
