In a letter dated 11 June 2008, Commission staff notified parties that it would consider MTS Allstream's 21 May 2008 application as it relates to the aggregated ADSL access service, including TELUS' NNI, in the same proceeding as Bell Canada et al. 's 15 May application. In Service standards for the disposition of telecommunications applications , Telecom Circular CRTC 2006-11, 7 December 2006, the Commission stated that it would categorize Part VII applications into two types: Type 1 applications that generally do not involve multiple parties or raise significant policy issues and Type 2 applications that do involve multiple parties and/or raise significant policy issues The Commission also adopted the following service standards for Part VII applications:
The Commission stated that it would inform applicants, by letter, within 10 days of the end of the comment period for applications, whether the application is considered to be a Type 1 or Type 2 application, and the applicable service standard. Commission staff has assessed the above application and considers it to be a Type 2 application. Accordingly, the Commission expects to issue an interim or final determination within eight months of the close-of-record. Yours sincerely, Original signed by Yvan Davidson, |
