Letter

Ottawa, 15 February 2007

Ref: 8660-C12-06/01

BY EMAIL

To: Competitors ordering services measured by CQoS indicators and the Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers

Subject:   Quarterly CQofS reporting

In Finalization of quality of service rate rebate plan for competitors , Telecom Decision CRTC 2005-20, 31 March 2005 , the Commission directed the Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs) to file their monthly competitor quality of service results (CQofS) within 30 days of the end of each quarter.  

Among other things, the Commission determined that the ILECs must provide i) to each competitor, a confidential competitor-specific report indicating by month: volumes of services ordered; the number of orders completed in the specified service interval; and a calculation of the rate rebate due for missed CQofS indicators with all supporting details; and ii) to the Commission, a confidential summary of all activities provided to individual competitors, by month, by indicator.   As a result, each individual competitor has the ability to audit the numbers provided by the ILEC to them and to the Commission.

As parties are aware, meeting the CQofS indicators is one of the criteria that an ILEC must meet before the Commission would be prepared to forbear from regulating local exchange services in a relevant market.   The Commission tracks market share loss by the ILECs and uses the quarterly CQofS reporting by the ILECs to measure an ILEC's progress towards attaining local forbearance.

The Commission intends to deal with local exchange forbearance applications on an expedited basis.   As a result, if a competitor considers that there are any inconsistencies between the numbers submitted by the ILECs in their quarterly CQofS reports and the level of activity ordered by a competitor, the Commission expects that the competitor would inform the Commission of these within 10 business days of receiving the information from the ILEC, so that these inconsistencies could be resolved in a timely manner.

Sincerely,

Lynne Fancy
Acting Director,
Competition Implementation & Technology
