1.

The Commission received an application by Aliant Telecom Inc. (Aliant Telecom), dated 19 July 2001, to revise the following tariff items in order to transfer responsibility for the installation and maintenance of single-line inside wiring and jacks from Aliant Telecom to customers in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island:

- Island Telecom Inc. General Tariff item 870;

- Maritime Tel & Tel Limited General Tariff items 585 and 3230;

- NBTel Inc. General Tariff items 45, 50 and 280; and

- NewTel Communications Inc. General Tariff item 370.

Aliant Telecom also proposed to add item 505, Inside Wire, to the Atlantic Provinces Telecommunications Council Regional Services Tariff.

Comments were received from nine Aliant Telecom customers in New Brunswick who were either opposed to paying for repair of inside wire, expressed concern about a possible change in technical standards or objected to the reduction in service.
