 WHEREAS, on 14 June 1995, VTC filed schematic diagrams of the configurations in question;

 WHEREAS, on 23 June 1995, VTC filed reply comments and sought interim approval of two operating configurations (4 and 5) and advance approval of the remaining eight proposed configurations;
 WHEREAS, the Commission notes that certain of the configurations proposed by VTC would allow for the routing of Canada-Canada and Canada-overseas traffic via other than Canadian facilities, contrary to Teleglobe Canada Inc. - Resale of Transborder Services, Telecom Decision CRTC 91-10, 26 June 1991; and
 WHEREAS, consistent with the Commission's determinations in Applications for Contribution Exemptions, Telecom Decision CRTC 93-2, 1 April 1993, certain configurations would require further evidence including technical audits or carrier verification -
 IT IS ORDERED THAT:
 The individual configurations that are the subject of this Order are determined in accordance with the rulings set out for each such configuration in the Appendix.
