BELL CANADA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA TELEPHONE COMPANY - RESTRUCTURING OF TARIFFS FOR PBX TRUNKS AND CENTRAL OFFICE LINES
|
Background
|
In Bell Canada and British Columbia Telephone Company - Restructuring of Tariffs for PBX Trunks and Central Office Lines, Telecom Public Notice CRTC 92-16, 27 March 1992 (Public Notice 92-16), the Commission noted that it had written to Bell Canada (Bell), British Columbia Telephone Company (B.C. Tel) and other telephone companies under its jurisdiction requesting their comments as to the implications for access line tariffs of the February 1991 finding of the Terminal Attachment Program Advisory Committee that mutually exclusive technical definitions for key systems and PBXs are no longer practical. In Public Notice 92-16, the Commission summarized the reports filed by the telephone companies in response to its letter and directed Bell and B.C. Tel to submit further reports on possible rating approaches. The Commission also stated that it would initiate a proceeding to consider those further reports once they were filed.
|
The Commission received Bell's report on 31 August 1992. B.C. Tel filed its report, together with a proposed tariff filed under Tariff Notice 2701, on 11 September 1992. Both Bell and B.C. Tel have filed information for which they have claimed confidentiality. Abridged versions of this information have been provided for the public record.
|
The Commission invites comment on the issues raised in Public Notice 92-16, on the further reports filed by Bell and B.C. Tel, and on B.C. Tel Tariff Notice 2701.
