|
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 interexchange service providers and wireless service providers, at terms and conditions that are equivalent to those contained in the incumbent local exchange carriers' (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 LondonConnect proposed the revisions in order to reflect the lower interconnection rates effective as of 1 June 2004, which were issued by the ILECs pursuant to Regulatory framework for second price cap period, Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-34, 30 May 2002. |
|
6. |
The Commission notes that in item 302.3, CCS7 Signalling, there has been a reduction to the Ontario and Quebec monthly rate for D-link, per port connection service effective as of 1 June 2004, and that LondonConnect has not reflected this rate reduction in its proposed tariff pages. The Commission further notes that LondonConnect did not provide any justification for deviating from the lower rate that has been in effect since 1 June 2004. Accordingly, the Commission finds that LondonConnect's proposed monthly rate in Ontario and Quebec for D-link, per port connection service should be reduced to match the ILEC's approved rate for this service. |
|
7. |
In light of the above, the Commission approves on an interim basis, LondonConnect's proposed rates, subject to the company incorporating the amendment to item 302.3, CCS7 Signalling, identified below: |
|
|
|
8. |
The proposed rates take effect 1 June 2004. |
|
9. |
The Commission directs LondonConnect to issue forthwith revised tariff pages reflecting the change specified above. |
