RE: TELUS Communications Company Tariff Notice 168D

On 27 October 2008, the Commission received Tariff Notice 168D from TELUS Communications Company (TCC). In its application, TCC requested approval of revisions to its proposed revised CDN Link Service rates in its Competitor Access Tariff (CRTC 21462), Competitor Digital Network (CDN) Services, Item 224.

This application was submitted in response to a Commission letter dated 26 August 2008 requesting that TCC and other incumbent local exchange carriers submit revised economic studies for CDN Central Office Link Service rates that reflect the costing methodology changes set out in Review of certain Phase II co sting issues , Telecom Decision CRTC 2008-14, 21 February 2008, as amended by Telecom Decision CRTC 2008-14-1, 11 April 2008. The companies were also requested to submit proposed revised tariff pages to reflect the revised rates.

In the letter noted above the Commission also set out a process for comment and reply comment, which will conclude 1 st December 2008.

Consequently, the Commission will not be able to render a decision within 45 business days of the date of receipt of these applications. The Commission intends to dispose of these applications within the first quarter of 2009.

Yours sincerely,
