WHEREAS, in Order 93-1141, the Commission also approved Bell's proposal that contribution charges as specified in Decision 92-12 be applied on each DISA path and each PSTN connection;
|
|
WHEREAS, prior to the implementation of Order 93-1141, contribution charges for Centrex resellers were applied to interexchange (IX) circuits connected to the reseller's Centrex switch;
|
|
WHEREAS, prior to the implementation of Order 93-1141, the configurations that are the subject of the applications from Centrex resellers would have been exempt from contribution;
|
WHEREAS, in Telecom Order CRTC 94-310 dated 31 March 1994 (Order 94-310), the Commission indicated that all configurations involving resale of Centrex that would have been contribution exempt prior to Order 93-1141, are to be considered as having interim approval during Bell's implementation of Order 93-1141;
|
|
WHEREAS, in Order 94-310, the Commission also indicated that it will give final disposition to each application from a Centrex reseller based on receipt of evidence, satisfactory to the Commission, from the reseller and/or from Bell, in the forms detailed therein;
|
|
WHEREAS, pursuant to Order 94-310, Centrex resellers and Bell filed with the Commission, reseller affidavits and/or carrier verification, as appropriate for their configurations;

|
|
WHEREAS the Commission has deferred those applications where system reconfiguration is still underway;
|
|
WHEREAS the Commission has denied certain applications where it considers that the circuits in question are properly subject to contribution and/or where the applicant did not provide further evidence as required by Telecom Order CRTC 94-310, and in certain cases, where the evidence filed was deficient; and
|
|
WHEREAS certain applicants have submitted affidavits for which the Commissioner of Oaths, etc. have merely indicated that the document was signed, rather than sworn/affirmed before them -
|
|
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
|
|
1. The individual applications that are the subject of this Order are determined in accordance with the rulings set out for each such application in the attached Appendix.
|
