The Commission received an application by Aliant Telecom Inc. (Aliant Telecom), dated 2 July 2002, to add General Tariff item 265, 2002-2005 Service Improvement Plan (SIP). The company filed this application pursuant to the Commission's direction to file, for Commission approval, tariff pages to implement its determinations related to unserved residential premises in the company's SIP, at paragraph 927 of Regulatory framework for second price cap period, Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-34, 30 May 2002 (Decision 2002-34). |

Aliant Telecom also proposed, pursuant to Decision 2002-34, customer installment payment plans for construction charges, including a plan for large construction charges. The Commission will address this proposal in a separate order. |
|
|
3. |
The Commission received no comment with respect to the application. |
|

4. |
The Commission finds that paragraph (a) of item 265.1 does not provide sufficient detail addressing the provisioning criteria set out in paragraph 868 of Decision 2002-34. The Commission also finds that paragraph (b) of item 265.1 should be changed to reflect the plan approved in Northern Telephone Limited - Service improvement plan, Order CRTC 2000-1096, 4 December 2000 as directed in paragraph 852 of Decision 2002-34. |
|
|

Accordingly, the Commission directs the company to incorporate the amendments identified below: |
|
| i) Paragraph (a) of item 265.1 should read as follows: | ||
The average provisioning cost per premises (permanent and seasonal) does not exceed $25,000. The aggregate cost in each locality is to be calculated using a 100% take rate. Start-up will occur if at least one customer requests service. Service is to be provided first to localities that have the highest demand. |
||
| ii) In the second sentence of paragraph (b), of item 265.1 the words "12 months" are to be replaced with "11 months", to read as follows: | ||
Residence applicants, customers or lessees can pay the balance of the construction charge in equal installments over the next 11 months at no interest charge. |
||
|
6. |
The Commission approves Aliant Telecom's application as amended.The revisions take effect as of the date of this order. |
|
|

Aliant Telecom is to issue revised tariff pages forthwith reflecting this addition to the General Tariff. |
