The Commission has received applications from AGT Limited (AGT), Bell Canada (Bell), British Columbia Telephone Company (B.C. Tel), The Island Telephone Company Limited (Island Tel), Maritime Telegraph and Telephone Company Limited (MT&T), The New Brunswick Telephone Company Limited (NBTel) and Newfoundland Telephone Company Limited (Newfoundland Tel) requesting approval of tariff revisions associated with the provision of Datapac Service.
|
|
These companies propose major changes to the rate structure and rate levels for Datapac Service. The proposed revisions include the introduction of discounts for usage and for commitments to quantities of asynchronous access arrangements, the reclassification of Datapac serving areas and changes in the rating of access arrangements, the simplification of the network usage rate structure and the elimination of usage-sensitive Packet
Assembler/Disassembler (PAD) charges.
|
|
In support of its application, Bell has filed, in confidence, attachments providing revised Datapac PARC (Prospective Annualized Revenue Cost) factors for Telecom Canada and describing the impact of the proposed tariff revisions on revenues and on customers. Bell has also provided abridged versions of this information for the public record. B.C. Tel, Island Tel and MT&T make reference to the attachments filed by Bell, while AGT, NBTel and Newfoundland Tel state that they concur with the information in those attachments.
