  • Part B - Interconnection with Local Exchange Carriers
    item 201, Compensation for Traffic Termination

    item 304, Bulk Transfer of End-Customer Base Between IXSPs
    item 305, Billing and Collection Service
 
  • Part D - Interconnection with Wireless Service Providers (WSPs)
    item 402, Trunk-side Access

2.

TCI requested that the rates take effect as of 1 June 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 TCI's application. The revisions take effect 1 June 2004.
