Re: Who are the TPIAs? said by c2roth:Where are you seeing four TPIAs in Roger's cover letter for TN29? I've read that short document and don't see mention anywhere a count of the number of providers. Click my first link, the 29 toward the top in the large print leads to a zip file download. In that you'll find a file named "Rogers Cover Ltr - TN 29_Nov7-2012 .pdf". On page 3 of that document it reads:Number of customers affected:
Rogers currently has 4 TPIA customers who have 1,680 end-users in total on 18, 28 and 32 Mbps aggregated POI TPIA services. --

1 edit | Thanks! That is seriously buried. No way to really notice a link hiding in that wall of text. CRTC website is borderline useless.

Ya, I remember that.. maybe. Even if it is eBox, we are still missing one, and we still don't have strong confirmation that CIK is one. Who signs up with Rogers to be a TPIA and then doesn't do ANY marketing? Distributel subsidiary maybe? My gut feeling is that members of the Distributel family are being counted independently. |

kudos:5 | said by c2roth:My gut feeling is that members of the Distributel family are being counted independently. Well, I did hear vague hints about Acanac moving towards aggregated at least a couple of months before I heard about Teksavvy doing the same. I guess it is possible that they are talking about the "known" four (CIK, Distributel, Start, Teksavvy), but they do very specifically say four TPIAs on aggregated.
I'd let this rest, but I'd really like to reduce the mystery around CIK too. We still don't have solid confirmation that they are a direct TPIA, though they almost certainly are. I wish somebody on CIK would post a tracert, for example  |

They wouldn't be. Distributel itself is the legal entity with the wholesale contract and TPIA interconnections. Acanac just uses the same pipes. |
