LetterOttawa, 30 January 2007 File No.: 8622-B2-200510463 By email Distribution List of Interested parties: Re: Bell Canada Part VII - Requesting modification to the bundling rules governing Type 2 Customer Specific Arrangements (CSAs): Policy Direction Pursuant to the Telecommunications Act (the Act), the Governor in Council issued a direction, Order Issuing a Direction to the CRTC on Implementing the Canadian Telecommunications Policy Objectives (the Policy Direction) , to the Commission. The Policy Direction came into effect on 14 December 2006 . The Policy Direction can be found at: http://canadagazetteducanada.gc.ca/partII/2006/20061227/html/sor355-e.html The Policy Direction requires that the CRTC rely on market forces to the maximum extent feasible and regulate, where there is still a need to do so, in a manner that interferes with market forces to the minimum extent necessary to meet the policy objectives of the Act. The Policy Direction applies to the application filed on 2 September 2005 by Bell Canada pursuant to Part VII of the CRTC Telecommunications Rules of Procedure requesting that the Commission modify the tariff approval requirements and pricing rules for Type 2 CSAs that consist of both tariffed and non-tariffed services (the Bell Canada Application). In light of the Policy Direction, all parties who filed comments in the proceeding initiated by the Bell Canada Application may provide further comments and reply comments with respect to the disposition of the Bell Canada Application. As part of their comments, parties are invited to address options to streamline the regulatory process for CSAs, such as removing the requirement to file costing information as part of a proposed tariff filing for a mixed Type 2 CSA when (i) its annualized revenues [1] are less than $100,000, or (ii) its annualized revenues are $100,000 or more and the percentage of the present worth of total revenues attributable to the tariffed components is less than 10 percent. Comments are to be filed with the Commission, and served on all parties to the proceeding initiated by the Bell Canada Application, by 13 February 2007 . Reply comments are to be filed with the Commission, and served on all parties, by 20 February 2007 . All submissions must be actually received, not merely sent, by these dates. Yours sincerely, (Original signed by Fiona Gilfillan for)
