NEWFOUNDLAND TELEPHONE COMPANY LIMITED - WAIVER OF PER-CALL BLOCKING CHARGE IN CONJUNCTION WITH CALL MANAGEMENT SERVICE
|
|
Reference: Tariff Notice 84
|
In Newfoundland Telephone Company Limited - Introduction of Call Management Service, CRTC Telecom Public Notice 1991-23, 23 April 1991 (Public Notice 1991-23), the Commission initiated a proceeding to consider an application from Newfoundland Telephone Company Limited (Newfoundland Tel) for the introduction of Call Management Service (CMS). Newfoundland Tel's proposed tariff revisions were granted interim approval in Telecom Order CRTC 91-549, 18 April 1991.
|
|
CMS provides customers with a number of network control features based on the identification of the telephone number of the party placing the call. Newfoundland Tel's application provided for a service whereby calling parties can block the display of their telephone numbers by placing calls through a local operator. Newfoundland Tel proposed that a charge of $.70 apply to each such call.
|
|
On 10 May 1991, Newfoundland Tel filed under Tariff Notice 84, another application related to the introduction of CMS. Under Tariff Notice 84, Newfoundland Tel proposes to waive the $.70 per-call blocking charge for calls placed from shelters for victims of domestic violence, where the shelter is registered with Newfoundland Tel.
|
In Telecom Order CRTC 91-726, 29 May 1991, the Commission granted interim approval to Tariff Notice 84, effective 10 June 1991. However, prior to making a final determination, the Commission invites comment on Tariff Notice 84 as part of the proceeding initiated by Public Notice 1991-23.
