Commission staff notes that at paragraph 18 of its 22 June 2009 comments on CAIP et al.’s
Part VII application Bell Canada et al. provided information related to the bandwidth
consumed by wholesale end-users in confidence. As CAIP et al. noted in its 24 July 2009
letter, Bell Canada subsequently placed similar information on the public record of the PN
2008-19 proceeding.

Commission staff considers that in light of Bell Canada et al.’s voluntary public disclosures
in the PN 2008-19 proceeding, it would not be appropriate to maintain the confidentiality of
similar information filed in confidence at paragraph 18 of Bell Canada et al.’s 22 June 2009
comments on CAIP et al,’s Part VII application, as such information is not consistently
treated as confidential by Bell Canada. In this regard, Commission staff considers that the
harm likely to result from the disclosure of the information in question does not outweigh the
public interest in its disclosure. Therefore, Bell Canada et al. is to provide on the public
record the information filed in confidence at paragraph 18 of its 22 June 2009 comments by
4 August 2009.

Parties that have commented in the R&V applications proceeding may file additional
comments, serving a copy on other parties, related solely to the information provided by
Bell Canada et al. by 10 August 2009.

18. The Companies submit that the Applicants have failed to raise substantial doubt as to the correctness of Decision 2008-108. Furthermore, consistent with the Commission's finding in Decision 2008-108 that GAS customers during peak periods would contribute to the network congestion that exists in the Companies' networks , the Companies stated in their response to The Companies(CRTC)4Dec08-9 PN 2008-19 that wholesale end-users were, in

December 2008, consuming # of the bandwidth during peak periods even though they were only # of the total base of end-users. As of May 2009, these numbers have increased and wholesale users are now consuming # of the bandwidth during peak periods even though they are only # of the total base of end-users. This amount is now more than double from their consumption levels prior to deployment of traffic shaping even though their share of the total base has not really changed.
