Public Notice CRTC 1998-12
  Ottawa, 13 February 1998
  ISSUES RELATED TO THE TRANSFER OF INSIDE WIRE USED BY BROADCASTING DISTRIBUTION UNDERTAKINGS - FOLLOW-UP TO PUBLIC NOTICE CRTC 1997-150
  In Public Notice CRTC 1997-150 dated 22 December 1997, the Commission announced its new Broadcasting Distribution Regulations (the regulations). The regulations came into effect on 1 January 1998.
  At paragraphs 96 and 97 of the notice, the Commission identified a number of technical and administrative issues associated with the transfer of inside wire which, in its view, could be resolved most effectively by a multi-party working group. The Commission also noted that a number of working groups, operating under the auspices of the CRTC Interconnection Steering Committee (CISC), are currently examining similar issues in the context of implementing competition in local telephony. The Commission determined that it would be appropriate to request the CISC to examine the further issues related to the transfer of inside wire. These would include:
  . processes to facilitate the movement of a customer from one distributor to a competitor, having regard to such things as the development of service intervals, process maps, ordering and billing arrangements, and information exchange standards;
  . agreements between distributors on alternative demarcation points, with particular reference to multiple-unit dwellings;
  . valuation of inside wire and of other related equipment in multiple-unit dwellings; and,
  . other issues that the parties may identify.
  The CISC intends to begin its examination of these issues in the near future. Persons wishing to participate in this process should contact Mr. Léo Mével, Chairman of the CISC, CRTC, Ottawa, K1A 0N2 by 27 February 1998. Alternatively, you may contact the CISC by e-mail at leo.mevel@CRTC.gc.ca or by facsimile at (819) 953-0795.
