Subject: Procedural Letter - Items filed pursuant to Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2023-56, Notice of hearing – Review of the wholesale high-speed access service framework – Cable Carriers
On 15 November 2023, Commission staff informed parties that, in an effort to support an efficient process, new proposed tariffs and associated rates would not be considered effective the date of the letter, including amendments to existing proposed rates, or submissions for new proposed rates, for consideration as part of the tariff proceedings arising out of Notice of Consultation 2023-56 (NoC 2023-56). Commission staff further clarified that revisions or amendments may be requested by Commission or Commission staff if deemed necessary and appropriate.
On 11 March 2024, Commission staff considered that proposed rate revisions by Cogeco Communications Inc. (Cogeco) and Bragg Communications Incorporated, carrying on business as Eastlink (Eastlink), and which were associated with the provision of wholesale aggregated high-speed access (HSA) services, would be permitted due to errors found in their costing submissions. Commission staff advised that further process related to these submissions would be established at a future date.
In a letter dated 22 August 2024, Commission staff posed questions to Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (RCCI), Shaw Communications (Shaw), and Québecor Média inc. on behalf of its affiliate Videotron (Videotron) related to TNs filed pursuant to NoC 2023-56. Commission staff advised that further process related to these submissions would be established at a future date.
Commission staff considers that parties have had access to the public record for these itemsFootnote 1 for anywhere from several weeks to several months. Commission staff therefore considers that parties have had ample time to have formulated their submissions in advance of process being established.
Accordingly, Commission staff is setting the following process:
- Requests for disclosure of information designated as confidential to be filed and served by 31 January 2025.
- Replies to requests for disclosure to be filed and served by 10 February 2025.
Sincerely,
