Dear Mr. Connolly:

RE: Tarrif Notice 288 - Addition of Centrex and IP-Evolution Services to forborne business local exchange services

On 29 February 2008, the Commission received an application by TELUS Communications Company in which the company proposed to add its Centrex and IP-Evolution Services to its list of forborne business local exchange services.

Commission staff notes that on 27 February 2008, MTS Allstream Inc. (MTS Allstream) filed an application to review and vary The relevant product market for Centrex and Enhanced Exchange Wide Dial services for the purpose of forbearance from regulation, Telecom Decision 2008-10, 31 January 2008 (Decision 2008-10) and also requested a stay of that Decision pending the Commission's determination on its application.

Consequently, the Commission will not be able to render a decision within 10 business days of the date of receipt of the application. The Commission expects to render its decision once it has disposed of MTS Allstream's request for a stay of Decision 2008-10, or MTS Allstream's request to review and vary that Decision, or sooner.

Yours sincerely,

Original signed by

Suzanne Bédard
