Telecom Order CRTC 99-1128 |

Ottawa, 8 December 1999 |
|
|
On 24 August 1999, BC TEL [now TELUS Communications (B.C.) Inc.] filed an application proposing revisions to its General Tariff to extend the "Additional Line" promotion to 27 September 2000. |
|
|
File No.: Tariff Notice 3985 |
|
|
1. Comments were received from Call-Net Enterprises Inc. on 1 September 1999 and AT&T Canada Corp. on 14 September 1999. BC TEL filed its reply on 22 September 1999, along with imputation test results in support of the application. |
|
|
2. Under the "Additional Line" promotion, service charges to provide additional multi-lines or individual business lines were waived from 28 September 1998 to 27 September 1999. |
|
|
3. The Commission notes that the duration of the proposed promotion exceeds twelve months. The Commission, therefore, does not consider the proposed promotion to be a legitimate promotion of limited duration that is exempt from the application of the imputation test. |
|
|
4. In its letter decision dated 27 November 1998, the Commission accepted Stentor's submission that service charge costs are to be generally recovered in a separate service charge tariff, and that if and when the service charge rates are reduced, the imputation test supporting the change would include any service charge costs incurred as a consequence of use of essential facilities at tariffed rates, and service charge costs incurred as a consequence of use of non-essential facilities at Phase II costs. |
|
|
5. The Commission notes that the imputation test filed in support of the application reflects the combined service charge and monthly recurring elements of the additional multi-line and individual business line services. |
|
|
6. In light of the above, the Commission denies TN 3985. |
