Dear Mr. Connolly:

RE:   AT&T Global Services Canada Co. - Application seeking relief with respect to the application of Basic Service Extension Feature charges to configurations involving Competitor Digital Network DS-1 to DS-0 channelization service - Telecom Decision CRTC 2007-10, 15 February 2007, Deferral Account Draw Down Impacts

In AT&T Global Services Canada Co. - Application seeking relief with respect to the application of Basic Service Extension Feature charges to configurations involving Competitor Digital Network DS-1 to DS-0 channelization service, Telecom Decision CRTC 2007-10, 15 February 2007 (Decision 2007-10), the Commission directed incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) to cease applying the Basic Service Extension Feature (BSEF) charges to certain Competitor Digital Network (CDN) DS-0 accesses, and to make refunds consistent with their respective Terms of Service .

In addition, the Commission directed each ILEC, except Saskatchewan Telecommunications, to file within 60 days of the date of the decision, their respective deferral account draw down estimates associated with the BSEF charges to be refunded to affected customers in accordance with the decision.

By letter, dated 13 April 2007 , TELUS Communications Company, indicated that it was continuing to assess Decision 2007-10 and the various implementation activities that it will occasion.   TELUS noted that   it was therefore not able to meet the filing deadline outlined at paragraph 54 of the decision.

TELUS also indicated that it would advise the Commission of its ability to file deferral account drawdown estimates no later than 7 May 2007 .

In the circumstances, the companies' request is reasonable.  

Yours sincerely,

'Original signed by S. Bédard '
