Follow-up to Review of regulatory framework for Northwestel Inc., Telecom Public Notice CRTC 2006-1, 17 January 2006 - Interim residential and business service rate increases
|
1.
|
In Review of regulatory framework for Northwestel Inc., Telecom Public Notice CRTC 2006-1, 17 January 2006, the Commission initiated a proceeding to review the regulatory framework for Northwestel Inc. (Northwestel). The new framework will enter into effect in 2007.
|
2.
|
In its submission dated 20 March 2006, Northwestel proposed, among other things, rate changes to various services to be effective 1 January 2007. Included was a proposal by the company to increase Individual Line Residential Primary Exchange Service rates by $2.00 per month, and Individual Line Business Primary Exchange Service rates and Multi-Line Primary Exchange Service rates by $5.00 per month.
|
3.
|
After reviewing the evidence filed in this proceeding, the Commission concludes that, on a prima facie basis, interim rate increases for Individual Line Residential Primary Exchange Service, Individual Line Business Primary Exchange Service, and Multi-Line Primary Exchange Service are warranted. These rate increases are to come into effect 1 January 2007.
|
4.
|
The Commission directs Northwestel to issue tariff pages, within 10 days of the effective date, reflecting the interim rate increases.
|
5.
|
In addition, the Commission determines that all of Northwestel's remaining tariffed service rates are to be made interim effective 1 January 2007.
|
6.
|
The Commission will render its final determinations with respect to these rates, and the other issues raised in the proceeding, in a decision to be issued early in 2007.
