Telecom Public Notice

Ottawa, 17 May 1991
Telecom Public Notice CRTC 1991-33
BELL CANADA - REVISIONS TO CENTREX III SERVICE
Reference: Tariff Notice 3876
The Commission has received an application from Bell Canada (Bell), dated 28 February 1991, for the approval of tariff revisions related to Centrex III Service.
The proposed tariff revisions provide for the introduction of a new five year minimum contract period (MCP). For systems within a single wire centre, a minimum of 160 voice, digital data or integrated Centrex III locals would be required. The five year MCP would also apply to multiple wire centre systems, with a minimum commitment of either 1,000 or 15,000 voice or digital data locals. Under the 15,000 local option, further discounts are applicable to locals in excess of a minimum commitment of 20,000, 25,000 or 30,000.
Bell also proposes reduced rates for voice, digital data and integrated Centrex III locals provided pursuant to new three year contracts. Existing three year MCP customers would be permitted to convert to a new three or five year MCP without being subject to termination charges.
In support of its application, Bell has filed the results of a modified Prospective Annualized Revenue Cost (PARC) study, for which it has claimed confidentiality. It has also provided an abridged version of this information for the public record.
The Commission has addressed interrogatories to Bell with respect to its application. The company has been directed to respond to these interrogatories by 17 June 1991.
The application may be examined at any of Bell's business offices or at the offices of the CRTC, Room 201, Central Building, Les Terrasses de la Chaudière, 1 Promenade du Portage, Hull, Quebec, or Complex Guy-Favreau, East Tower, 200 René-Lévesque Blvd. West, 6th Floor, Montréal, Quebec. A copy of Bell's application and of its responses to the Commission's interrogatories may be obtained by any interested person upon request directed to the company at the address shown below.
If you wish to comment on the application, please write to Mr. Allan J. Darling, Secretary General, CRTC, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0N2, by 15 July 1991. A copy of your letter should be sent to Mr. Peter J. Knowlton, Assistant General Counsel, Bell Canada, 25 Eddy Street, 4th Floor, Hull, Quebec, J8X 4B5.
Allan J. Darling
Secretary General
