5. Proposal type: new
6. Policy term: permanent
7. Policy statement:
Insert new section to NRPM to read as follows:

4.2.3.8 Reassignments for Third Party Internet Access (TPIA) over Cable

When IP address resources are reassigned by an ISP to an underlying cable
carrier for use with TPIA, those addresses shall be deemed as utilized
once they are assigned to equipment by the underlying cable carrier.

8. Rationale:
A unique situation exists particularly, and perhaps only, in the Canadian
region that is preventing legitimate ISPs from obtaining subsequent
allocations of IPv4 addresses for use with the Third Party Internet Access
(TPIA) framework that has been mandated by the CRTC (Canada's version of
the FCC).  Adding this section to the NRPM will allow ISPs that intend to
make use of this CRTC mandated framework to obtain the number resources
that they require but are currently unable to obtain.
9. Timetable for implementation: immediate
