RE: Approval of emergency notification of shortened interval for activation of three CO Codes by Fido Solutions Inc. in Vancouver British Columbia
Dear Mr. Kalsi:
On 10 March 2017, Rogers Communications Partnership - Wireline (Rogers) requested that Commission staff approve an emergency notification for Central Office (CO) Codes 236-822 (Kelowna), 249-977 (Sudbury), 431-977 (Winnipeg), 782-977 (Sydney), and 782-979 (Charlottetown), to make the effective date 10 April 2017, which is 30 days rather than 66 days after the received date of the Part 1 Forms, as specified in the Canadian Central Office Code (NXX) Assignment Guideline (the Guideline).
Rogers indicated that the CO Codes are required for its Rogers Unison expansion project. It noted that it required a shorter interval for activation of the codes in order to complete testing and meet the business needs of the project. It therefore requested an accelerated effective date for its request for the five new CO codes.
Commission staff considers this request for an emergency notification for shortened intervals to be reasonable in the circumstance.
Rogers is reminded that, as per the Guideline, carriers are to make their best effort to implement the new codes in the shorter timeframe, but are not obligated to implement these NPA-NXXs in their networks in less than the normal minimum 45 day activation interval and, consequently, call blocking, routing errors and/or billing errors could occur.
Sincerely,
