Subject: ISP Telecom Inc. Part 1 Application for Access to Wireless Local Number Portability as a Full MVNO – Request for Information

The Commission is in receipt of a Part 1 application (application) from ISP Telecom inc. (ISP Telecom) dated 19 December 2025. In that application, ISP Telecom, in its capacity as a full-Mobile Virtual Network Operation (full MVNO), is requesting that the Commission confirm its right to implement and perform wireless local number portability (WLNP).

In addition to the content of the application and the public record that will result from this proceeding, Commission staff would like to offer the opportunity to CTA to reply to Telus’ intervention on the record. Therefore, please provide responses to the information requested in the attachment by June 1, 2026. The response is to be received, and not merely sent, by that date.

Your response will be placed on the public record. As set out in section 39 of the Telecommunications Act, persons may designate certain information as confidential.

A person designating information as confidential must provide a detailed explanation on why the designated information is confidential and why its disclosure would not be in the public interest, including why the specific direct harm that would likely result from the disclosure would outweigh the public interest in disclosure. Furthermore, a person 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.

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Jeremy Lendvay
Senior Manager
Telecommunications Sector

Appendix (1)

Appendix: RFI Questions

Please repeat the question when providing your answer.

  1. In its intervention, TELUS submits (in paragraph 21) that full MVNOs should be granted NPAC access and the ability to perform wireless number porting, provided that they are subject to the same obligations and responsibilities as other providers (i.e. wireless carriers) that have direct access. Please provide comments on this proposal.
