Telecom Order CRTC 97-1129
|
|
The Commission received an application by Jump Spring Canada Inc. (Jump Spring) dated 4 February 1997 for an exemption from contribution for Centrex services.
|
|
File No.: 8626-J3-01/97
|
|
1. In a letter dated 30 January 1997, Jump Spring registered as a reseller of services provided by Bell Canada (Bell). Subsequently, Jump Spring provided an affidavit dated 4 February 1997 supporting a contribution exemption application for circuits used for the provision of single-hop Centrex services in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. By fax dated 14 April 1997, Jump Spring affirmed that it proposed to provide single-hop Centrex services only in Ontario and Quebec.

2. By letter dated 23 April 1997, Bell noted that the second affidavit provided with Jump Spring's application requested contribution exemption for new Centrex services which have not yet been installed in Ontario exchanges. Also, Bell noted that Jump Spring already has Centrex service in Hamilton which was in place prior to Jump Spring's registration as a reseller and understood that the Centrex service in Hamilton is not part of this application. Bell further noted that if the Hamilton services were used as part of the resale configuration, multiple-hop calling would be possible. Bell submitted that the application by Jump Spring should be treated as a request for advance approval pending clarification from Jump Spring as to the use of the Hamilton system and that a subsequent affidavit should be required once services are established.

|
3. By mail, Jump Spring provided an amended affidavit dated 20 May 1997 requesting an exemption from contribution charges on Centrex systems in Ontario used solely for single-hop services and on a Centrex system and three business lines used for administrative purposes. The amended affidavit identified the Centrex circuits used to provide the single-hop services and the three business lines used for administrative purposes.
|
|
4. By letter dated 25 June 1997, Bell noted that the new affidavit provided by Jump Spring dated 20 May 1997 affirmed that it provides only single-hop services and other services used for administrative purposes and identified the specific services involved. Accordingly, Bell stated that the new affidavit appears to satisfy the Commission's evidentiary requirements with respect to Centrex systems used solely for single-hop calling and with respect to other services used for administrative purposes, and that the number of services for which an administrative exemption is requested appears to be reasonable. Accordingly, Bell agreed with the requested exemptions.

|
5. The Commission notes that Jump Spring's affidavit meets the Commission's evidentiary requirements for an exemption from contribution.
|
|
6. In light of the foregoing, the Commission orders that:
|
|
(a) Jump Spring's application for single-hop Centrex services is approved effective the date of the affidavit, 4 February 1997.
|
|
(b) Jump Spring's application for the administration lines is approved effective the date of the installation.
