Telecom Order

Ottawa, 12 May 1998
Telecom Order CRTC 98-470
On 27 March 1998, TELUS Communications Inc. (TCI) filed applications proposing tariff changes further to Price Cap Regulation and Related Issues, Telecom Decision CRTC 97-9, 1 May 1997 (Decision 97-9).
File Nos.: Tariff Notices 1021, 1022 and 1023
1. TCI filed its Price Cap Index (PCI) and respective Service Band Limits (SBLs) as at 1 January 1998 incorporating an adjustment to the PCI and Basic Residential Local Service sub-basket SBL to reflect the amount of the residual shortfall not recovered through rates. The Commission considers that this is in compliance with Implementation of Price Cap Regulation and Related Issues, Telecom Decision CRTC 98-2, 5 March 1998.
2. Pursuant to Decision 97-9, TCI updated its PCI and respective SBLs to incorporate the Gross Domestic Product-Price Index and the productivity offset of 4.5% stipulated in Decision 97-9.
3. TCI proposed to restructure rates for Business Exchange Service and Megalink Service and reprice Digital Network Access Service rates. The Commission notes that the proposed Business Exchange Service rates comply with the single line business service pricing constraints in Decision 97-9.
4. The company filed the calculation of its Actual Price Index and the Service Band Indices demonstrating that, under its proposed rates, it will not exceed the 1 May 1998 PCI and SBLs.
5. The Commission notes that comments were received relating to TCI's application.
6. The Commission is satisfied that, on the basis of the imputation test information required by Local Competition, Telecom Decision CRTC 97-8, 1 May 1997, the proposed rates will not be anti-competitive.
7. In light of the foregoing, the Commission approves the proposed tariff revisions effective 19 May 1998.
