In Regulatory framework for the small incumbent telephone companies, Decision CRTC 2001-756, 14 December 2001 (Decision 2001-756), the Commission grouped services into four separate service baskets, each with their own pricing constraints. In that decision, the Commission assigned the services in question to the fourth service basket.
|
4.
|
The Commission notes that in Decision 2001-756, it determined that rates for services in the fourth service basket would generally be permitted to increase up to any already approved rate for the same service.
|
5.
|
The Commission notes that the proposed rates were previously approved by the Commission for the same services provided by other companies and, therefore, are in accordance with Decision 2001-756.
|
6.
|
Accordingly, the Commission considers the rates proposed by Thunder Bay Telephone to be appropriate.
|
7.
|
The Commission approves Thunder Bay Telephone's application. The revisions take effect as of the date of this order.
|
8.
|
Thunder Bay Telephone is to issue revised tariff pages forthwith to reflect these changes.
