Telecom Decision CRTC 98-2-1

ERRATA

Corrections to The corrections to paragraph 459, the table at paragraph 464, Attachments A and C are indicated in bold type:

459. For NewTel, the Commission estimates that the company will require $7.15 million in rebalancing revenues to reduce its going-in contribution rate to 2 cents per minute. The Commission also estimates that the company will have a going-in revenue requirement surplus of $1.16 million. Therefore, the Commission estimates that NewTel requires $5.99 million in revenue increases from residential rates. After taking into account the revenues expected to be generated from the interim rate increases approved in Decision 97-18, the Commission estimates that there will be a residual shortfall of $0.06 million.

464. The Commission estimates that, based on the final determinations made in Part VI of this Decision, the residential local rate increases, that would result if final rates are implemented on 1 January 1998, would be less than $3.00 on average for all telephone companies, except for BC TEL and MT&T. A comparison of the average interim rate increases approved in Decision 97-18 and the average rate increases that would result if the final rates are implemented, effective 1 January 1998, is provided in the table below:
