Ottawa, 7 August 1998
Telecom Order CRTC 98-771
On 11 March 1998, Teleglobe Canada Inc. (Teleglobe) filed an application under Tariff Notice (TN) 526 for approval of tariff revisions to the International Globeaccess Service Tariff (CRTC 9015).
File No.: TN 526
1.In its application, Teleglobe proposed, among other things, the introduction of a Globeaccess Program to Australia and the United Kingdom.
2.By way of a letter dated 21 April 1998, Teleglobe proposed to withdraw the program in response to an intervention by Stentor Resource Centre Inc. (Stentor).
3.In Telecom Order CRTC 98-490 dated 20 May 1998, the Commission granted interim approval to the proposed tariff revisions filed under TN 526, with the exception of the Program to Australia and the United Kingdom. The Commission set out a process for comment on the proposed withdrawal of the Program to Australia and the United Kingdom.
4.The Commission notes that comments were received on 28 May 1998 from Stentor in which it specified that for the reasons stated in its 9 April 1998 intervention, Stentor continued to hold the position that the proposed Globeaccess Program to Australia and the United Kingdom is anti-competitive and discriminatory.
5.The Commission notes that no other comments were received from other parties with respect to the removal of the proposed Globeaccess Program to Australia and the United Kingdom.
6.In light of the foregoing, the Commission orders that:
(a) Teleglobe TN 526 is granted final approval with the exception of the proposed Globeaccess Program to Australia and the United Kingdom.
(b) Teleglobe's proposed withdrawal of the Globeaccess Program to Australia and the United Kingdom is approved.
