RE:  Request for CO Code in area code 902

Dear Sir,

Area code 902 is currently in a jeopardy condition, pending the introduction of area code 782 on 30 November 2014 and, for this reason, Bell Aliant, on 26 June 2014, requested that Commission staff approve the assignment of two central office (CO) codes in area code 902 for Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

In its request, Bell Aliant noted that it was installing a new telephone switch and that the new CO codes would be in service within 4 months of the date of application. 

Commission staff notes that the need for these CO codes was in Bell Aliant’s forecast and considers the company’s proposal to be reasonable.

Sincerely,
