Telecom Order CRTC 2006-311

  Ottawa, 16 November 2006
 

Rogers Cable Communications Inc.

  Reference: Tariff Notices 6 and 6A
 

CLEC rates for interconnection and Third Party Internet Access Tariff

1.

The Commission received an application by Rogers Cable Communications Inc. (RCCI), dated 27 October 2006, as amended on 8 November 2006, for approval of revisions to its General Tariff for competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) interconnection services, which had been prepared from the CLEC Model Tariff Version 27. In addition, RCCI submitted its Tariff for Third Party Internet Access (TPIA) for Commission approval.

2.

In its application, RCCI indicated that, on 1 July 2006, it restructured its business operations to merge Rogers Home Phone Inc. (RHPI) with RCCI. RCCI submitted that therefore, the RHPI CLEC General Tariff and Tariff for TPIA were no longer applicable.

3.

In a letter dated 27 September 2006, the Commission requested all CLECs to file proposed tariffs to reflect the incumbent local exchange carriers' (ILECs) interconnection rates or to file proposed rates with cost justification for any departures from the ILECs' interconnection rates.

4.

The Commission has reviewed the company's CLEC General Tariff and is satisfied that it follows the CLEC Model Tariff Version 27 and implements the effective dates indicated in the 27 September 2006 Commission letter.

5.

The Commission has also reviewed the company's Tariff for TPIA and is satisfied that it is identical to the Tariff for TPIA that was approved for RHPI in Telecom Order CRTC 2006-20.

6.

Accordingly, the Commission approves on an interim basis RCCI's application, with the following effective dates:
 
  • 29 May 2006 for the local interconnection regions (LIRs) terms and conditions, as per Follow-up to Trunking arrangements for the interchange of traffic and the point of interconnection between local exchange carriers, Telecom Decision CRTC 2004-46, Telecom Decision CRTC 2006-35, 29 May 2006 (Decision 2006-35);
 
  • 1 June 2006 for all of the proposed rates, as per Decision 2006-35 and Regulatory framework for second price cap period, Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-34, 30 May 2002, as amended by Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-34-1, 15 July 2002;
 
  • the date of this Order for the terms and conditions relating to the 900 consumer safeguards, as per MTS Allstream and Bell Canada - Part VII applications regarding 900 service, Telecom Decision CRTC 2006-48, 3 August 2006; and
 
  • 1 July 2006 for its Tariff for TPIA.
