Subject: 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 Dave Kershaw,
The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (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 LMS 2793—consisting of four multi-dwelling units (MDUs) located at 8171 Saba Road, 8191 Saba Road, 6191 Buswell Street and 6211 Buswell Street, in Richmond, British Columbia—in order to install its equipment and provide telecommunications services to residents.
Section 37 of the Telecommunications 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 RFI to Novus, to gather additional information about any TSP equipment installed and services being provided by Novus to the tenants at LMS 2793. The deadlines associated with this RFI are as follows:
- Novus is requested to provide a response to the attached questions by 7 September 2023. In addition to filing its responses with the Commission, Novus must also serve a copy of its responses on CIK and LMS 2793.
- CIK, LMS 2793 and any other interested person will have until 12 September 2023 to comment on Novus’ response. These comments must be limited to only the new information provided in Novus’ response.
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.
Sincerely,
Original signed by
