ATTACHMENT
The following interrogatories are addressed to Bell Aliant Regional Communications, Limited Partnership, Bell Canada, MTS Allstream Inc., Ontera , Saskatchewan Telecommunications, and TELUS Communications Company.
1. The following question is intended to ensure that consistent information was provided by the companies in response to (CRTC)1Sept06-01. For each of the years from 2001 to 2005, provide the following information. Basic toll customers are those customers that are PIC'd to the company and do not subscribe to one of the company's discount toll plans. Information for basic toll customers should be included whether or not a basic toll customer has made a toll call within a particular period.
a) Provide the percentage of residential basic toll subscribers to the residential customers that are PIC'd to the company.
b) Provide the percentage of business basic toll subscribers to the business customers that are PIC'd to the company.
c) Provide the percentage of basic toll minutes for residential customers to the total toll minutes for residential customers.
d) Provide the percentage of basic toll minutes for business customers to the total toll minutes for business customers.
e) Provide the percentage of residential basic toll revenues to the total toll revenues for residential customers.
f) Provide the percentage of business basic toll revenues to the total toll revenues for business customers.
2. If the Commission were to determine that it would be appropriate to retain some price protection for basic toll subscribers:
a) Provide the company's views on a simplified basic toll schedule under which basic toll customers would be charged a flat rate per minute that is approved by the Commission for toll calls. The 50% discount for those calls that are currently subject to the 50% discount would continue to apply.
b) If a simplified schedule as described in (a) was to be implemented, indicate the company's view on whether there should be only one flat rate per minute for all basic toll calls or more than one flat rate depending on the destination (e.g., for calls to a destination within Canada or for calls to a destination within the United States). Indicate, with supporting rationale, the appropriate rate(s).
c) Provide the company's views on a simplified basic toll schedule under which basic toll customers would be charged a flat rate per minute for toll calls, as long as the rate was at or below a capped rate per minute that is approved by the Commission. The 50% discount for those calls that are currently subject to the 50% discount would continue to apply.
d) If the option in (c) was to be implemented, indicate the company's views on whether there should be only one capped rate for all basic toll calls or more than one capped rate depending upon the destination (e.g., for calls to a destination within Canada or calls for a destination within the United States). Indicate, with supporting rationale, the appropriate capped rate(s).
e) Indicate the company's preference as to (a), (b), (c) or (d) above.
