RE:  Request for CO Code in area code 902

Dear Sir,

Area code 902 is currently in a jeopardy condition, pending the introduction of the new overlay area code 782 on 30 November 2014.  For this reason, Bragg Communications, on 17 September 2014, requested that Commission staff approve the assignment of a new central office (CO) code in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Bragg Communications stated that its initial forecast did not take into account a range of numbers assigned for internal uses in its wireless central office, and consequently it requires the new CO code earlier than originally planned.

Commission staff notes that the need for this CO code was in Bragg Communication’s forecast and considers the company’s proposal to be reasonable.

Sincerely,
