Dear Mr. Bibic and Mr. Henry:
Re: Part VII Application by Bell Aliant Regional Communications LP and Bell Canada – Concerning the Appropriate Competitor Quality of Service Standards for the Provisioning of Competitor DS-1 Digital Network Services
On 14 October 2009, the Commission received the above-mentioned Part VII application by Bell Aliant Regional Communications LP and Bell Canada.
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:
-
Type 1 Part VII applications – 90 percent of determinations to be issued on an interim or final basis within four months of the close-of-record; and
-
Type 2 Part VII applications – 85 percent of determinations to be issued on an interim or final basis within eight months of the close-of-record.
Commission staff has assessed the above application and considers it to be a Type 1 application. Accordingly, the Commission expects to issue an interim or final determination within four months of the close-of-record.
Yours sincerely,
Original signed by
