Decision

Ottawa, 24 January 1996
Decision CRTC 96-26
Keith Ellis, representing a company to be incorporated
Williamsford, Ontario - 951146000
New cable distribution undertaking
Following a Public Hearing in the National Capital Region beginning on 30 October 1995, the Commission approves the application by Keith Ellis, representing a company to be incorporated, for a licence to carry on a cable distribution undertaking to serve Williamsford and will issue, subject to the requirements of this decision, a Class 2 (fewer than 2,000 subscribers) licence expiring 31 August 1998.
This term is consistent with the Commission's practice regarding the licensing of new undertakings of this type.
With the exception of the requirements stipulated in section 23 of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations), the operation of this undertaking will be regulated pursuant to Parts I, III and IV of the regulations and the licence will be subject to the conditions specified in the licence to be issued.
This authority will only be effective and the licence will only be issued at such time as the Commission receives documentation establishing that an eligible Canadian corporation has been incorporated and that it may be issued a licence.
Although the Commission does not regulate the rates of Class 2 undertakings with fewer than 2,000 subscribers, it notes that the applicant has proposed a monthly subscriber fee of $24.95.
This authority will only be effective and the licence will only be issued at such time as the construction of the undertaking is completed and it is prepared to commence operation. If the construction is not completed within twelve months of the date of this decision or, where the applicant applies to the Commission within this period and satisfies the Commission that it cannot complete construction and commence operation before the expiry of this period and that an extension of time is in the public interest, within such further period of time as is approved in writing by the Commission, the licence will not be issued. The applicant is required to advise the Commission (before the expiry of the twelve-month period or any extension thereof) in writing, once it has completed construction and is prepared to commence operation.
As a result of an intervention received from Markdale Cable T.V. (872580 Ontario Inc.), the applicant has withdrawn that part of its app lication proposing to provide service to Holland Centre. In this regard, the Commission notes that this area is already included in the intervener's licensed area.
