Subject: Part 1 Application by Execulink Telecom Inc. – Request for the Commission to reinstate the enforcement measures imposed in TD 2024-42 — Request for Information

The Commission is considering the Part 1 application filed by Execulink Telecom Inc. (Execulink). In its application, Execulink is requesting access to three multi-dwelling units (MDUs), located at 136 Concession St. East, 62 1st St., and 98 King St., in Tillsonburg, Ontario, in order to install its equipment and provide telecommunications services to residents.

Section 37 of the Telecommunications Act (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. Bell Canada and Rogers Communications Canada Inc. are required to provide a response to the attached questions by 17 April 2026       as well as serving a copy of their response on Execulink and Escalade Property Corp, as the administrator of the MDUs.

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

Attachment (1)

Questions for Bell Canada and Rogers Communications Canada Inc.:

  1. In its application, Execulink Telecom Inc. (Execulink) seeking the following order:
    “ Execulink requests the implementation of all the following measures immediately and until Execulink’s installations at the Premises are complete:
    • neither Bell Canada, Rogers Communications Canada Inc (RCCI), nor any other local exchange carriers (LECs) or carrier Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will be permitted to provide services to any new customer in the Premises, regardless of whether the customer is a new or a current resident.
    • neither Bell Canada, RCCI, nor any other LECs or carrier ISPs will be permitted to modify or upgrade the services being provided to an existing resident and customer.
    • if there are no residents in the multi-dwelling unit (MDU), neither Bell Canada, RCCI, nor any other LECs or carrier ISPs will be permitted to provide any services to any future resident.”

In the event that the Commission finds that Execulink is being denied non-discriminatory and timely access to the above-referenced MDUs, comment on the possibility that the Commission impose the above order.
