Telecom Order

Ottawa, 3 December 1998
Telecom Order CRTC 98-1217
On 21 October 1998, MetroNet Communications Group Inc. (MetroNet) filed an application under Tariff Notice (TN) 5, for approval of tariff revisions pertaining to the introduction of charges for: (1) terminating traffic from within the local calling area; and (2) processing calls from an interconnecting carrier, when that carrier does not transmit the location routing number of the switch to which the call must be routed for termination.
File No.: TN 5
1.MetroNet submitted that its proposal to charge for traffic terminating from within the local calling area would provide trunk arrangements, which are fair and equitable for MetroNet and the interconnecting incumbent local exchange carrier.
2.MetroNet indicated that its proposal would provide appropriate compensation for the costs that it incurs in terminating traffic that has been originated outside the exchange by another local exchange carrier.
3.MetroNet submitted that its proposal was in conformance with Telecom Order CRTC 98-486, dated 19 May 1998.
4.MetroNet requested that the Commission grant interim approval to TN 5 by 15 November 1998, if it could not make a final determination by that date.
5.The Commission considers that MetroNet's proposal to introduce charges for traffic terminating from within the local calling area raises issues that should be dealt with in conjunction with the transiting tariffs to be filed by the incumbent local exchange carriers.
6.The Commission finds, however, that MetroNet's proposal to introduce a charge for processing calls from an interconnecting carrier, when that carrier does not transmit the location routing number of the switch to which the call must be routed for termination, is appropriate.
7.In light of the foregoing, the Commission orders that:
The proposed revisions to General Tariff Item 304 are granted interim approval.
