| Ottawa, 26 September 2000 | |
| TELUS Communications Inc. | |
|
Tariff Notices 265 and 265A |
|
|
Calling features rate increase |
|
|
The Commission denies an application by TCI proposing amendments to its "Package of 3 Calling Features". |
|
|
1. |
TELUS Communications Inc. (TCI) proposed to charge new customers subscribing to its "Package of 3 Calling Features" a monthly rate of $16.95 regardless of their choice of primary interexchange carrier. The company proposed to grandfather existing subscribers to its "Package of 3 Calling Features" who use TCI as their primary interexchange carrier at the current rate of $14.95 per month. |
|
2. |
TCI also proposed to amend the list of calling features available to business subscribers with the "Package of 3 Calling Features". |
|
3. |
TCI filed its application on 3 August 2000 and amended it on 11 August 2000. |
|
4. |
The Commission concludes that the company's proposal to charge different rates to existing and new customers in this case is unjustly discriminatory and contrary to Subsection 27(2) of the Telecommunications Act. The Commission considers that the same rate should apply to all customers regardless of when they sign up for service. |
|
5. |
The Commission denies TCI's application to revise General Tariff Item 235, Calling features. |
