Definitions of larger cable carrier and the creation of confidentiality
agreements. Reference:
8638-C12-26/99.
The Commission finds that, for tariffing purposes, as well as for the
treatment of confidential competitor information, Cogeco, Rogers, Shaw and
Vidéotron are considered to be larger cable carriers. (Cable carriers are
cable distribution undertakings that also provide telecommunications
services using facilities they use to provide cable services.) Such larger
carriers that offer both higher speed retail Internet services and
underlying broadband access services are required to create a Customer
Services Group to handle the broadband access service requests of
competitor Internet service providers. All other incumbent cable carriers
that offer these services are required to enter into a standardized
non-disclosure agreement. Parties will be provided with the opportunity to
negotiate the terms of such agreements. Failing that, a process will be
implemented to finalize both agreements. |
