RE: Intention of Coop Tel to enter Sogetel Inc.’s (Sogetel) (Téléphone Milot Inc.) operating territory as a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) in the Quebec exchanges of Charette, Saint-Alexis-des Monts, Saint-Barnabé and Saint-Paulin
Dear Richard Biron:
On 29 September 2021, the Commission received Sogetel’s letter following the expression of interest by Coop Tel, to provide competitive services in the Quebec exchanges of Charette, Saint-Alexis-des Monts, Saint-Barnabé and Saint-Paulin, which are served by Sogetel.
In its letter, Sogetel indicated that, in relation to the Charette, Saint-Alexis-des Monts, Saint-Barnabé and Saint-Paulin, Quebec exchange, CoopTel does not require services other than those competitor services already offered by Sogetel following TELUS Communications Inc.'s (TELUS’) entry into competition in 2015. Footnote1 Sogetel had requested a 45-day period to implement local competition for Coop Tel.
Staff considers that Coop Tel can begin offering its services in the Charette, Saint-Alexis-des Monts, Saint-Barnabé and Saint-Paulin, Quebec exchange upon notification by Sogetel that implementation is complete. Staff reminds both companies that a Master Agreement for Local Interconnection (MALI) and an Appendix C must be signed
for the Charette, Saint-Alexis-des Monts, Saint-Barnabé et Saint-Paulin, Quebec exchanges. The notification requirements for CLECs can be found in Telecom Decision CRTC 2012-396.
Sincerely,
Original signed by
Michel Murray
