On 31 March 1999, Maritime Tel & Tel Limited (MT&T) filed an application proposing tariff changes further to Price Cap Regulation and Related Issues, Telecom Decision CRTC 97-9, 1 May 1997 (Decision 97-9). |

File No.: Tariff Notice 743 |

|
1.MT&T filed its Price Cap Index (PCI) and Service Band Limits (SBLs) for 1999, incorporating an exogenous adjustment related to the recovery of local start-up costs. |
|
|
2.The Commission considers that this exogenous adjustment is in compliance with Local Competition Start-up Costs Proceeding, Telecom Public Notice CRTC 98-10, Telecom Order CRTC 99-239, 12 March 1999. |
|
|
3.MT&T 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. |
|
|
4.In Tariff Notice 743, MT&T proposed rate reductions to Tariff Item 720, Network Exchange Service - Multiline. In addition, MT&T also proposed to introduce a Business Multiline Loyalty program which would provide business customers who subscribe to 10 months of continuous Business Multiline service, their 11th and 12th month of service free. MT&T stated that all existing multiline customers would be automatically enrolled in the program. |
|
|
5.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 for Multiline Business Network Exchange Service will not be anti-competitive. |
|
|
6.MT&T also filed the calculation of its Actual Price Index and Service Band Indices demonstrating that, under its proposed rates, it will not exceed the PCI and SBLs for 1999. |
|
|
