Rogers has submitted to the CRTC a restated application for an immediate temporary stay of the speed-matching requirement for its new retail gigabit internet services.
The amended application dated Aug. 23 was posted to the commission’s website on Aug. 29.
The changes to the cable giant’s initial application asking for an interim speed-matching exemption reflect the CRTC’s Aug. 13 decision to expand the last-mile fibre regime nationwide, Rogers explained in its new application.
The regulator had informed Rogers via an Aug. 6 letter that it would not consider the company’s request for an expedited temporary stay until Rogers had filed the required tariff application to introduce the new gigabit speed tiers at the wholesale level.
The deadline for interventions on Rogers’s restated application is Oct. 1.
