Per Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2023-31, ILECs are required to file quarterly reports with the following information:
- where applications for pole access were denied due to spare capacity, detailed reasons for the denial (paragraph 193); and
- details on pole access requests (paragraph 216).
This data collection will be implemented by the introduction of form 268 ("Telecommunications Poles"), added as part of the quarterly Telecommunications survey.
In addition to adding form 268, the quarterly Telecommunications survey will merge with the quarterly Quality of Service survey. There are no material changes to existing forms in either survey.
