  • Part D - Interconnection with Wireless Service Providers (WSPs)

    item 403, Line-side Access

2.

EastLink requested that the rates take effect as of 1 June 2004. EastLink also requested that the Check Page be effective 10 September 2004.

3.

The Commission received no comments with respect to the application.

4.

In Local Competition, Telecom Decision CRTC 97-8, 1 May 1997, the Commission determined that it was in the public interest to require competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) to provide interconnection to all IXSPs and WSPs, at terms and conditions that were equivalent to those contained in the ILECs' tariffs. The Commission required all CLECs to file proposed tariffs for interconnection, justifying any departure from the terms and conditions contained in the ILECs' tariffs.

5.

The Commission notes that the proposed rates conform to ILECs rates that were effective 1 June 2004.

6.

Accordingly, the Commission approves on an interim basis EastLink's application. The revisions take effect 1 June 2004, with the exception to the revisions to the Check Page which take effect as of 10 September 2004.
