Dear Mr. Connolly:

Re:   Former TCI Tariff Notice 574 and TCBC Tariff Notice 4260

On 25 October 2006, TELUS Communications Company (TCC or the company) filed revisions to former TCI General tariff (CRTC 18001) Item 495, Integrated Services Digital Network-Primary Rate Interface ISDN-PRI) Service and TELUS Communications (B.C.) Inc. (TCBC) General Tariff (CRTC 1005) Item 470, ISDN-PRI Service.

The company proposed to revise a condition of service, incorrectly referred to the availability of additional PSTN Links in Alberta and PSTN Connectivity in B.C. depending on whether or not Back up D channels are ordered.

TCC also proposed to include another exception to the list of optional features available to the ISDN-PRI Starter Bundle, specifically "Other Link Connections" in Alberta and "Type A Links" in B.C.   TCC indicated that this additional limitation was being proposed because these optional features were never intended to be offered to the already discounted starter Bundle.

In order for Commission staff to complete the analysis of this tariff filing, the company is requested to file responses to the attached questions by 17 November 2006 .

Sincerely;

'Original signed by N. Froese (for)'
