RE: Tariff Notice 17 - Revision to Compensation for Traffic Termination
On 6 October 2008, the Commission received an application by Fido Solutions Inc. (Fido), under cover of Tariff Notice 17, in which the company proposed to modify the conditions of service pertaining to Compensation for Traffic Termination of its Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) General Tariff to reflect the terms and conditions approved for all the large Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs) in their Tariffs.
This service is used by local exchange carriers (LECs) to compensate each other for traffic imbalances that may occur for traffic interchanged over bill and keep trunks. Where an imbalance exists, the party which originates less traffic than it terminates is entitled to compensation.
Currently, Part B, Items 201.1.4 and 201.1.5 of Fido's CLEC General Tariff state the following:
"4. If the CLEC detects a traffic imbalance in its favour, subsequent to the initial imbalance that applies for existing exchange-based interconnection, it shall notify the LEC as soon as possible. The rates specified below apply in respect of the month following such notification
5. The charge for any month is calculated for each trunk required at the busiest period of that month on the basis of actual traffic imbalances in the month. The non-recurring rates specified below apply, beginning with the month in respect of which notice is first provided, for as long as the imbalance exists."
In its application, Fido proposed to replace the above-noted conditions of service with the following:
"4. If the CLEC detects a traffic imbalance in its favour, subsequent to the initial imbalance that applies solely for existing exchange-based interconnection, it shall notify the LEC as soon as possible. For both the exchange-based and the LIR-based interconnection regimes, the non-recurring monthly rates specified below will be applied from the date of notification.
5. The charge for any month is calculated for each trunk required at the busiest period of that month on the basis of actual traffic imbalances in the month. The non-recurring monthly rates specified below apply for as long as the imbalance exists. In the situation where an imbalance recurs in a month subsequent to its declining to zero, the CLEC shall notify the LEC of the recurrence of the imbalance situation. The CLEC will then resume billing immediately in a manner similar to that in place for ongoing imbalance situations."
Commission staff notes that CLECs in Canada generally abide by the same terms and conditions because the CLEC General Tariffs are based on the CLEC Model Tariff that was developed by the CRTC Interconnection Steering Committee (CISC).
Commission staff seeks comments from other LECs in Canada on:
1) the modifications to the conditions of service proposed by Fido; and
2) the appropriateness of adopting these modifications in the CLEC Model Tariff.
Parties may file their comments with the Commission, serving a copy on Fido, by 19 November 2008. The applicant may file reply comments with the Commission, serving a copy on all other parties, by 29 November 2008. Where a document is to be filed or served by a specific date, the document must actually be received, not merely sent by that date.
Commission staff notes that pursuant to paragraph 44 of Approval mechanisms for retail and CLEC tariffs, Telecom Decision CRTC 2008-74, 21 August 2008, Fido's application will not be assessed under the procedures established for Group B filing, since Fido's CLEC General Tariff does not incorporate, at this time, the cross-references to the applicable rates set out in the ILECs' tariffs for all instances in which Fido uses ILECs' rates.
In view of this, the Commission will be unable to dispose of Fido's application within 45 business days of the filing date. The Commission expects to issue its decision on the above-noted issues by the end of December 2008.
Yours sincerely,
