Re:    Semi-annual reports of interexchange private line routes pursuant to Order 99-434

This letter is to provide direction related to the semi-annual report due 1 April 2005 pursuant to Follow-up Proceeding to Telecom Decision 97-20: Establishment of criterion and process for considering further forbearance for High Capacity/DDS interexchange private line services , Telecom Order CRTC 99-434, 12 May 1999 (Order 99-434).

In Order 99-434, the Commission directed each competitor to identify the high capacity and digital data service IXPL routes where it provides, or offers to provide, IXPL services, at DS-3 or greater bandwidth, using terrestrial facilities from a company other than the incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) or an affiliate of the ILEC.

Commencing 1 October 1999 , all competitors were to file the reports semi-annually, on 1 April and 1 October.

Commission staff requests that, in the 1 April 2005 filings, all competitors, including out-of-territory affiliates of the ILECs, BDUs and BDU affiliates that provide telecommunications services, and hydro electric entities with telecommunications operations, report all their IXPL routes that comply with the forbearance criterion established in Order 99-434, including all routes that a competitor may have previously reported as part of the semi-annual filings pursuant to Order 99-434.

For a route between two exchanges, for example exchange A and exchange B, that complies with the forbearance criterion of Order 99-434, or a route between an exchange and a border crossing, for example exchange A and border crossing B, that complies with the forbearance criterion of Order 99-434, competitors are requested to report:

1.  the name of the competitor reporting the IXPL route;

2.  the name of the ILEC in whose territory exchange A is located;

3.  the name of exchange A as shown in the tariffs of the ILEC indicated in the response to (2);

4.  the name of the ILEC in whose territory exchange B is located;  

5.  the name of exchange B as shown in the tariffs of the ILEC indicated in the response to (4), or the usual name of the border crossing B; and

6.  whether the route was reported previously to the Commission as part of the semi-annual filings, whether the route was not previously reported, because it was already forborne from, or whether it is a new route.

Service providers are encouraged to submit the above information electronically as an Excel spreadsheet.   However, service providers may submit paper copies if they find it more convenient.

Sincerely yours,

Paul Godin
