File No.: Tariff Notice 7 |
|
|
1.Group Telecom has not provided terms and conditions and rates relating to the collection of contribution in association with circuits provided on a line-side basis. |
|
|
2.The Commission considers that Group Telecom would not be able to prevent interexchange carriers from using line-side access. |
|
|
3.Accordingly, the Commission considers that it is necessary for Group Telecom's General Tariff to include terms and conditions with respect to the collection of contribution charges for interconnection on a line-side basis. |
|
|
4.The Commission is of the view that provisions for line-side access in the Access Services Tariff for Interconnection with Wireless Service Providers are also required. |
|
|

|
|
ii) in Item 202.3 e), with respect to Contribution Exemptions, add the following term under sub-paragraph 1: |

|
|
renumber the remaining terms accordingly; |
|
|
iii) amend the terms in Item 301.4 d) to include provisions for interconnection on a line-side basis and add the following rates associated with line-side access in Ontario and Quebec: |
