Distribution List

Re:  Part 1 Application by CIK Telecom Inc. for non-discriminatory and timely access on reasonable terms and conditions to LMS 2793—Request for Information

Dear recipients,

The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is an administrative tribunal responsible for the administration of the Telecommunications Act (the Act), including policies that encourage competition in markets to ensure that Canadians have a choice of telecommunications service provider (TSP). 

The Commission is presently considering the above-referenced Part 1 application, filed by CIK Telecom Inc. (CIK). In this application, CIK is requesting access to four MDUs, located at 8171 Saba Road, 8191 Saba Road, 6191 Buswell Street, and 6211 Buswell Street, in Richmond, British Columbia (the MDUs), in order to install its equipment and provide telecommunications services to residents.

Section 37 of the Act provides that the Commission may require Canadian carriers or any person to file information or documents that the Commission considers necessary for the administration of that Act. As part of its consideration of CIK’s above-noted application, Commission staff is sending this request for information (RFI) to gather additional information about TSP equipment installed and services being provided to the tenants at the MDUs. The deadlines for responding to this RFI are as follows:

Recipients are reminded that, in order to comply with the Act, they must respond within the above-specified timelines by providing complete responses to each question in this RFI. In such a case where no complete response is received, the Commission may consider enforcement action, including the imposition of administrative monetary penalties (AMPs).Footnote1 In addition, pursuant to section 72.16 of the Act, recipients are reminded that they are liable for a violation that is committed by an employee of the person acting in the course of the employee’s employment, or by an agent or mandatary of the person acting within the scope of the agent’s or mandatary’s authority.
Recipients are also reminded that their responses are required to be submitted electronically, and in full compliance with the applicable provisions of the CRTC Rules of Practice and Procedure. Your responses will become part of the public record and will be posted on the CRTC website. Section 39 of the Act and Broadcasting and Telecom Information Bulletin CRTC 2010-961 provide that persons may designate certain information submitted to the Commission as confidential. A detailed explanation of why the designated information is confidential and why its disclosure would not be in the public interest must be provided, including why the specific direct harm that would be likely to result from the disclosure would outweigh the public interest in its disclosure.
If you file a document containing confidential information, an abridged version of the document omitting only the confidential information must also be filed with the Commission; alternatively, reasons why an abridged version cannot be filed must be provided. Only the abridged version of the document will become part of the public record and will be posted on the CRTC website.
Sincerely,

Original signed by

Director, Dispute Resolution and Regulatory Implementation
