In Call-Net Part VII Application - Promotion of local residential competition, Telecom Decision CRTC 2004-4, 27 January 2004, the Commission directed the BPWG of the CISC to report by 29 March 2004 on what work incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) technicians could and should perform on behalf of the competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) when provisioning residential unbundled loops, including procedures for how this could be accomplished and implemented as soon as possible.

The Commission received Follow-up to Decision 2004-4 Call-Net Part VII Application - Promotion of local residential competition, a consensus report from the BPWG on 29 March 2004.

In that report, the BPWG described a list of tasks that could and should be performed by ILEC technicians on behalf of the CLECs when provisioning residential unbundled loops. Parties agreed that before fully implementing these tasks, a field trial should be held to fine-tune the processes established. The parties that are ordering, provisioning and maintaining local residential loops expected to run the field trial for a period of six weeks starting 14 June 2004 and barring major problems, the wide-scale adoption of these would be rolled-out throughout August 2004 in all ILEC territories.
