Reference: 97-8150-F4-01
WHEREAS in support of its application, Future Link provided an affidavit dated 14 January 1997, describing the manner in which it provides both single-hop and double-hop services, affirming that the services for which an exemption is requested are used solely to provide single-hop services to its customers;
WHEREAS by letter dated 10 February 1997, Bell Canada (Bell) noted that the service arrangement in question is provided and configured by Bell, and Bell controls the routing of calls to each system and each Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) group, as well as the ability to make any changes to the routing arrangements;
WHEREAS accordingly, Bell stated that it is able to verify that the services are used as described, and that the PSTN connections designated for single-hop services are not used to carry double-hop services;
WHEREAS therefore, based on the evidence provided by Future Link, and on its ability to verify the configuration, Bell agreed that the requested exemption is consistent with the current regulations for contribution and therefore should be granted; and
WHEREAS the Commission notes that Bell has provided carrier verification consistent with the Commission's evidentiary requirements as set out in Applications for Contribution Exemptions, Telecom Decision CRTC 93-2, 1 April 1993 -
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
