|
The Commission has received applications from Québec-Téléphone, Sogetel Inc. and Téléphone Guèvremont Inc. for approval of tariff revisions for the provision of 9-1-1 Public Emergency Reporting Service (9-1-1 PERS) to municipalities in their respective territories.
|
|
In association with the Tariff Notices, the companies filed for approval proposed standard agreements between themselves and participating municipalities and/or municipal associations regarding (1) the provision of 9-1-1 PERS, and (2) the billing and collection arrangements whereby the companies would collect, on behalf of the municipalities, costs incurred by the municipalities relating to their participation in the provision of 9-1-1 emergency response. The proposed Tariff Notices and agreements also contain terms and conditions which, among other things, set out each party's liability in the provision of 9-1-1 PERS.
|
|
The Commission considers the introduction of 9-1-1 PERS in the territories served by the independent telephone companies in Quebec to be in the public interest. Accordingly, the Commission has given the proposed tariff revisions and standard agreements interim approval, with certain modifications (see Telecom Order CRTC 95-323, Telecom Order CRTC 95-324, Telecom Order CRTC 95-325, Telecom Order CRTC 95-327, all dated 17 March 1995, and associated Errata, dated 7 April 1995).
|
|
The Commission invites municipalities and/or municipal associations, as well as other interested parties, to comment on the terms and conditions included in the proposed tariff revisions and standard agreements, as modified by the Commission. The Commission notes that the agreements ultimately approved will serve as benchmarks for future 9-1-1 PERS filings from Quebec independent telephone companies.
|
|
The Commission notes that Article 2.2 of Québec-Téléphone's 9-1-1 PERS Agreement identifies ID-0014 as the specific standard for the terminal equipment to be used by the Central Emergency Response Bureau. The Commission seeks comment from Québec-Téléphone and from other interested parties on the ID-0014 standard and the appropriateness of its use.
