1. In Decision 96-12, the Commission noted that it had not received an application for approval of tariff revisions to implement the LSCM from TCEI.
|
|
2. The Commission directed the company to provide comment on why the LSCM, approved in Decision 96-12, should not apply to the TCEI component of the 1997 province-wide contribution rate for Alberta, serving copies of its submission on interested parties to the Decision 96-12 proceeding.

4. TCEI indicated that it currently uses a per-minute rather than a per-circuit contribution mechanism for line-side access and provides call detail records upon request.
|

5. TCEI stated that it was prepared to implement the LSCM immediately upon receipt of the Commission's approval.
|
|
6. TCEI indicated that it intends to file proposed tariffs reflecting 1997 interim de-averaged per-minute contribution rates for line-side on the same date as proposed tariffs are filed by TELUS Communications Inc. (TCI).
|
|
7. TCEI indicated that the proposed tariffs will have an effective date of 1 July 1997 and will take into account the Commission's directives regarding interim contribution charges for TCEI and TCI as specified in TELUS Communications Inc. - General Rate Increase 1996 and 1997, Telecom Decision CRTC 96-13, 13 December 1996 which will maintain consistent application of the province-wide contribution rates in Alberta.

8. No comments were submitted by interested parties.
|
|
9. The Commission finds the TCEI proposal acceptable.
|
|
10. In light of the foregoing, the Commission orders that:

|
11. (a) TCEI is directed to implement the de-averaged per-minute line-side contribution mechanism approved in Decision 96-12.
|
|
