|
By letter dated 15 August 1997, AT&T Canada Long Distance Services Company (AT&T Canada LDS), on behalf of and with the concurrence of PR Responses Inc. (PRR), applied for an exemption from contribution for dedicated cross-border circuits. AT&T Canada LDS stated that these circuits were identified in the attached affidavit dated 17 July 1997. AT&T Canada LDS stated that PRR is a company that specializes in the business of telemarketing services, does not engage in the resale or sharing of telecommunications services, and has sworn that the cross-border circuits in question are to be used exclusively by it. AT&T Canada LDS sought, on behalf of PRR, an exemption from contribution effective the date of application.

1. By letter dated 11 September 1997, Stentor Resource Centre Inc. (Stentor) submitted comments on behalf of Bell Canada and MTS NetCom Inc. (collectively, the companies). Stentor stated that in light of the confirmation from the customer of the dedicated use of the facilities and AT&T Canada LDS' apparent confirmation that the circuits are provisioned as dedicated facilities, the companies agreed with the requested exemption, effective the date of the application.

2. The Commission is of the view that PRR has met the Commission's evidentiary requirements, and notes that both AT&T Canada LDS and Stentor agreed with the exemption, effective the date of application. The Commission notes that its practice is generally to grant approval effective the earlier of the date of affidavit or the date of application in such cases, as long as there is not a substantial difference in the two dates. The Commission is of the view that the date of the affidavit would be appropriate in this case.

|
3. Accordingly, based on the above, PRR's application is approved effective the date of the affidavit, 17 July 1997.
