1998-929 - File No.: 8695-C12-02/97 - Re: Proposed New Contribution Exemption Regime for Internet Service Providers, Telecom Public Notice CRTC 1997-37, 3 November 1997. The Commission found that: (i) only IALs carrying PSTN Voice traffic are subject to contribution charges; and (ii) if an IAL is used to carry any local or interexchange PSTN Voice traffic, then all traffic carried on that IAL is subject to contribution. The Commission agrees with Stentor that IP Data should be contribution exempt. The Commission also notes that technological innovation will likely lead to a situation where services such as PSTN Voice will increasingly be able to be offered in a manner similar to PC Voice. Given that this will likely lead to a potentially significant reduction in contribution payments, the Commission is of the view that the contribution-exempt status of Internet services may need to be revisited in the future. The following is the lighter contribution exemption regime for ISPs. Situation 1: No registration is required. The ISP should make available a no-charge, five-hour per-month, low-speed access account to its serving LEC. The exemption is assumed automatically by the LEC. Situation 2: The ISP is to register with the Commission, but no exemption application for contribution-exempt services is required. The ISP should make available a no-charge, five-hour per-month, low-speed access account to its serving LEC. An affidavit is to be served on serving LEC(s) only. Situation 3: Registration and an exemption application is required (for contribution-exempt services) with the Commission and serving LEC(s). The ISP should make available a no-charge, five-hour per-month, low-speed access account to its serving LEC. For Situations 1 and 2 above, the evidentiary requirements have been significantly reduced. The Commission is of the view that while there is some risk in lightening the regulatory regime, it is offset by the decrease in regulatory burden to all. The Commission agrees with Stentor that the migration of data from the PSTN to the Internet may cause the general exemption for Internet services from contribution charges to be reviewed. Call-Net proposed that the Commission re-examine the entire contribution regime and replace it with a system that requires telecommunications service providers to contribute on the basis of a percentage of revenues. Call-Net’s request is denied.
