The Commission has received applications from Bell Canada (Bell), Northwestel Inc. (Northwestel), British Columbia Telephone Company (B.C. Tel), Maritime Telegraph and Telephone Company Limited (MT&T), The Island Telephone Company Limited (Island Tel), The New Brunswick Telephone Company Limited (NBTel) and Newfoundland Telephone Company Limited (Nfld Tel) requesting approval of various tariff revisions associated with the provision of Envoy 100, iNet 2000, and, where applicable, TradeRoute and EXTEN services.
Each of these companies proposes to consolidate its Envoy 100 and iNet 2000 Services and to call them Intelligent Communications Network (ICN) Services. In each case, the consolidation involves a restructuring of rates. Bell, B.C. Tel, Island Tel, NBTel, Nfld Tel, and MT&T propose to include TradeRoute, an application of Envoy 100, in the consolidated general tariff item. Bell, B.C. Tel, MT&T and Northwestel would also include EXTEN voice messaging service in the new general tariff item, pending withdrawal of the service.
Finally, Bell proposes tariff revisions associated with its Government Electronic Messaging and Document Exchange Service to reflect the restructured Envoy 100 and iNet 2000 rates.
In support of its application, Bell has submitted economic studies, including a Telecom Canada study, for which it has claimed confidentiality. It has also provided abridged versions of this information for the public record. B.C. Tel, Northwestel, Island Tel, NBTel and MT&T state in their applications that they concur with and adopt the Telecom Canada economic study for ICN Services. In support of their applications, Island Tel and MT&T have submitted information for which they have claimed confidentiality. They have provided abridged versions of their applications for the public record.
