RE: TELUS Communications Company Tariff Notices 393 and TCBC Tariff Notice 4339
Dear Mr. Reirson:
The Commission received applications by TELUS Communications Company (TELUS or the company), dated 18 August 2010, in which the company proposed revisions to the former TELUS Communications Inc. General Tariff Item 300 – Call Management Services and the former TELUS Communications (B.C) Inc. General Tariff Item 2234 – Internet Call Director in order to withdraw Internet Call Director service, effective 1 December 2010.
TELUS is to provide responses to the attached interrogatories by 30 September 2010.
Where a document is to be filed or served by a specific date, the document must be actually received, not merely sent, by that date.
Yours sincerely,
“Original signed by S. Bédard”

2. With regards to TELUS submission that only 23 percent of ICD customers had used the service in the 90 days preceding the application date.
a. Identify how the use of ICD service is measured, and
b. Identify whether this means that 77 percent of ICD customers had not used Dial-up Internet access in the 90 days preceding the application date. If not, explain why not.
