    Secretary General
    Canadian Radio-television and
    Telecommunications Commission
    Ottawa, ON K1A 0N2

    Re: Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2011-77 – Requests for modifying the scope and
    terms of the proceeding

    Dear Mr. Morin:

    1 The British Columbia Broadband Association (“BCBA”) is in receipt of a letter dated 15 February
    2011 from the Commission (Ref.: 8661-C12-201102350) regarding submission of comments to the
    request from the Public Interest Advocacy Centre (“PIAC”) on its own behalf and as counsel to the
    Consumers' Association of Canada (“CAC”), and from the Canadian Network Operators Consortium
    Inc. (“CNOC”).

    2 BCBA is also in receipt of a letter dated 10 February 2011 from the PIAC / CAC challenging both the
    intended scope of this proceeding and the wording of the issues. In addition, BCBA also received a
    letter dated 11 February 2011 from the CNOC requesting that the Commission for broadening the
    scope of the proceeding.

    3 BCBA is also in receipt of a letter dated 17 February 2011 from JF Mezei / Vaxination which reminds
    the Commission that the issues being raised for consideration under this new proceeding are wide
    ranging and include suggestions that fundamental changes to the current regulatory regime are
    under review. Under the current regulatory framework, Retail Internet pricing is unregulated. Any
    proceeding that reviews this framework is likely to be a process that will take several years to
    complete.

    4 Our members are very aware that the issues of speed matching and access to reasonably priced
    wholesale aggregated ADSL services that were the goals of proceeding 2009 – 261 have not been
    resolved in a timely fashion. Under the Commission’s current timetable there is some hope that
    these issues may be resolved by April of this year.

    5 The BCBA is extremely concerned that expanding the scope of 2011-77 may further delay the
    implementation of speed matching opportunities at reasonable wholesale pricing. Telecom
    Regulatory Policy CRTC 2010-632 should stay on track regardless of the ultimate decision on the
    scope of 2011 -77. Our members believe that it is the Commission’s role to issue and enforce its
    rulings in a timely fashion. We strongly urge the Commission to complete its review of the TELUS

    speed matching Tariffs and issue final pricing for these services. The goals of 2011-77 should not
    prevent timely access to these regulated services.

    6 We would like to thank the Commission for the opportunity given to our group to present our
    perspective on these issues

    Sincerely,

    Bob Allen
    President - BC Broadband Association
