Telecom Order

Ottawa, 23 December 1998
Telecom Order CRTC 98-1345
By letter dated 12 November 1998, Call-Net Enterprises Inc. (Call-Net), on behalf of Sprint Canada Inc. (Sprint Canada), filed an application for contribution exemption with respect to circuits which are used and provisioned as dedicated Canada-U.S. facilities for eight end-customers of Sprint Canada.
File No.: 8626-S2-09/98
1.By letter dated 27 November 1998, Stentor Resource Centre Inc. (Stentor) submitted comments on behalf of Bell Canada (Bell) and BC TEL (collectively, the companies).
2.Stentor noted that, pursuant to the contribution exemption regime prescribed in Telecom Order CRTC 98-886 dated 3 September 1998 (Order 98-886), Sprint Canada filed affidavits from each of its end-customers affirming that the cross-border private lines in question are dedicated solely to each end-customer's use. Stentor noted that it appears that seven of the eight Canada-U.S. private line circuits which are the subject of Sprint Canada's application appear to originate in Bell's territory, while the eighth appears to originate in BC TEL's territory.
3.Stentor stated that it has reviewed the affidavits and noted that they generally appear to satisfy the Commission's evidentiary requirements with respect to such exemptions. Accordingly, the companies agreed with the requested exemptions, effective the dates of execution of the affidavits.
4.The Commission notes that in Order 98-886, it found it appropriate that Call-Net file a single application every 120 days covering a number of customers, provided the single application is filed within 120 days of the date of execution of the affidavits of the customers. The Commission notes that: (1) all eight affidavits in this case were executed within 120 days of the date of application, 12 November 1998; and (2) the affidavits satisfy the evidentiary requirements with respect to such exemptions.
5.In light of the above, Call-Net's application is approved effective the date of affidavit execution for each of the eight customers.
