Subject: Part 1 Application by CIK Telecom Inc. for non-discriminatory and timely access on reasonable terms and conditions to LMS 2793 — Request for Information
Dear recipients,
The Commission is considering the above-referenced Part 1 application, filed by CIK Telecom Inc. (CIK). In this application, CIK is requesting access to four MDUs, located at 8171 Saba Road, 8191 Saba Road, 6191 Buswell Street, and 6211 Buswell Street, in Richmond, British Columbia (the MDUs), in order to install its equipment and provide telecommunications services to residents.
Section 37 of the Telecommunications Act (the 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. As part of its consideration of CIK’s above-noted application, Commission staff is sending this request for information (RFI) to gather additional information about TSP equipment installed and services being provided to the tenants at the MDUs. All recipients of this RFI are requested to provide a response to the attached questions by 6 February 2026. In addition to filing their response with the Commission, the respondents must also serve a copy of their responses on CIK and LMS 2793.
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

To Telecommunications Service Providers identified in the Distribution List
-
In its application, CIK requested that the Commission enforce the MDU access condition pursuant to section 24 of the Telecommunications Act, as follows:
- Within 15 days following the date of the Commission’s decision, any other LEC or carrier ISP already in the Premises will not be permitted to provide services to any new resident of the Premises and will not be permitted to provide services to a current resident that is not an existing customer of the applicable service provider;
- Within 30 days following the date of the Commission’s decision, any LEC or carrier ISP present in the Premises will not be permitted to modify or upgrade the services being provided to a current resident;
- Within 45 days following the date of the Commission’s decision, the Commission will explore all regulatory options available to it, including issuing an order under section 42 of the Act and issuing a decision which could result in all LECs and carrier ISPs present in the Premises not being permitted to provide any services to the residents.
In the event that the Commission finds that CIK is being denied non-discriminatory and timely access to the above-referenced MDUs, comment on the possibility that the Commission may impose the relief requested by CIK.
