Ottawa, 9 January 2003

Brooke Telecom Co-operative Ltd.

Reference: Tariff Notice 10

Forbearance

1.

The Commission received an application by Brooke Telecom Co-operative Ltd. (Brooke), dated 19 November 2002, to revise General Tariff sections 120, Telephone Set Loss Charge; 240, Multi-Line Telephone Systems and Key Equipment; and 490, Miscellaneous Equipment and Services, in order to reflect forbearance from the regulation of competitively provided terminal equipment.

2.

In is application, Brooke noted that it no longer has any two or four party line services and therefore does not provide any terminal equipment which should be subject to regulation.

5.

The Commission received no comments with respect to the application.

6.

The Commission approves Brooke's application. The revisions take effect as of the date of this order.

7.

Brooke is to issue revised tariff pages forthwith to reflect these changes.
