Services, Baskets and Pricing Constraints

1201       Refer to paragraph 96 of PIAC's submission. Discuss, with supporting rationale, whether the productivity offset proposed by PIAC for residence and business retail services would be appropriate for Category I Competitor Services.

Rate De-averaging

1301        In Forbearance from the regulation of retail local exchange services , Telecom Decision CRTC 2006-15, 6 April 2006, paragraph 488, the Commission indicated that it was ''.prepared to consider applications from an ILEC requesting the removal of the local winback rule in a relevant market when the applicant ILEC can demonstrate that it has lost 20 percent of its market share in that relevant market.''.

Provide PIAC's view on a similar transitional measure with respect to the prohibition on rate de-averaging based on, among other things, a percent market share loss in that relevant market.   Identify, with supporting rationale, the percentage market share loss level to justify this transitional measure.
