RE: Part 1 application filed by Northwestel Inc. dated 6 December 2021: Supplemental intervention dated 23 March 2022

Dear recipients:

On 23 March 2022, the Commission received correspondence from Daniel Sokolov requesting to add certain information to the record of the above-noted proceeding. That information relates to recent changes to SpaceX’s Starlink services. A copy of the information is enclosed.

Commission staff notes that this information was received after the deadline to submit interventions. However, given that the information is relevant to the issues under consideration in this proceeding, Commission staff is of the view that the enclosed correspondence and information should be treated as a supplemental intervention. A copy will be placed on the public record.

Commission staff is establishing the following further process:

 

Commission staff notes that the Commission will determine as a procedural matter whether or not to consider this supplemental intervention, and related comments, in its analysis prior to rendering its decision on the issues raised in Northwestel’s Part 1 application.

Commission staff also notes that as set out in section 39 of the Telecommunications Act and in Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin CRTC 2010-961, Procedures for filing confidential information and requesting its disclosure in Commission proceedings, information may be filed on the record of the proceeding in confidence. A party designating information as confidential must provide a detailed explanation as to why the designated information is confidential and why its disclosure is not in the public interest, including why the specific direct harm that is likely to result from the disclosure outweighs the public interest in disclosure. Furthermore, a party designating information as confidential must either file an abridged version of the document omitting only the information designated as confidential or provide reasons why an abridged version cannot be filed.

A copy of this letter will be placed on the public record of this proceeding.
Yours sincerely,

Original signed by
