NORTHWESTEL INC. - RATES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR CABLE SUPPORT SERVICES
|
|
In Bell Canada and Northwestel Inc. - Sale of Facilities in the Northwest Territories, Telecom Decision CRTC 92-6, 1 May 1992 (Decision 92-6), the Commission approved applications by Bell Canada (Bell) and Northwestel Inc. (Northwestel) related to the transfer to Northwestel of substantially all of Bell's assets in the eastern portion of the Northwest Territories.
|
|
In Decision 92-6, the Commission approved Northwestel's proposal to grandfather all services offered by Bell, but not by Northwestel, with one exception. Specifically, the Commission stated that it would not be appropriate to grandfather Cable Support Services without providing the opportunity for potentially affected customers to comment on the company's proposal. Accordingly, the Commission directs Northwestel to file a more detailed proposal with respect to grandfathering the provision of Cable Support Services for existing customers in the eastern Northwest Territories as, including details with respect to the rates, terms and conditions for the service. In addition, the Commission directs the company to consider the following issues:
|
|
(1) the potential demand for Cable Support Services in the western Northwest Territories (the area served by Northwestel before its acquisition of Bell's assets in the eastern Northwest Territories); and
|
|
(2) whether Cable Support Services should be available only in the eastern portion of the Northwest Territories or across all of the company's operating territory.
